Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hello All,

I have a RN46 83 Hilux. It currently has a 18r engine. I use it for work and have noticed that the 18r is a little underpowered for full loads, towing etc.

Anywho I'm thinking of a V8 conversion and after a little advice. Basically I'm looking at whatever is the best all round. Price, ease and compatibility and what is the best engine to put in it.

I assume there's a few people here that have done this so I'd be heaps appreciative of your advice.

Carburetted 308 for ease and cheap as well as extra grunt.

Cheers

sux we are in queensland as now it is illegal i believe but correct me if i am wrong

Nope not illegal, spoke to an engineer on monday about a 5.0 in an 86 lux. The engine was the least of his worries
