Check the forsale section been quite a few in there for $400-700ish. but with that many klms on it, probably the low price.

Let me no, might have a mate interested, his just shititself AGAIN last week.

i eventually managed to sell a good one, running in the car with only 91k for $1750. People do want them to replace ones with cracked heads. keep advertising for a while and you should be able to get rid of it. As said above, $750 would be about all you would get for it from what i have seen.

Gday Rohan,

Are you going to put the supercharger on it or wait a while and see how it goes?

I'll have to come and have a look at it and I nearly have the money for your old bullbar if you still have it.

Thanks

P.s. The vibration in my car was due to the wheels, i put Trav's 31's on it and there was no vibration

gen 111

gen 111 into patrol not hard just a lot of time,the hardest part was exhaust .had to make own extactors,again just time .
motor in and running ,chev clutch ,motec computer for engine management.
hi rob the supercharger is here but will run the motor in before l put it on,that is if l need it.we have done alot off work to the motor,it may be alright without the supercharger.
l still have the bull bar for you rob.

l will put some photos on when l remember to bring the camera to work
