Hi Grimbo,

Id reckon a V6 would be good as a daily simply because a V8 drinks fuel.

They're good mileage figures ratbox, my T700, 3.25 injected got 10L/100km on the highway at best.  Better than a 202 on highway, but worse around town.

I spotted a cheap VL last week and was tempted to squirrel it away for a conversion. Jap engines are just so much more efficient. I'm even tempted to use an Isuzu 2.6L 4 banger!

Cheers

Ed

I bought a new workshop ute a colorado v6 petrol 22,s chip exhaust the whole lot to replace my  92  4cyl rodeo 650thou on the clock and i reckon it still has more power and more torque and pulls a better burnout even with that many K,S on it gave it to my apprentice and its still going i miss the old girl.

absaloute  puss bucket i remember towing a HQ ute with it i got 240KMS out of a tank.

My new sr5 turbo diesel makes more torque and power than the V6.
4 Cylinders may be wrong but there are many running sub 10 second quarters
check out the latest zoom mag a CA18 making 750HP at the wheels thats 1.8 litres of buz box in a KE corrolla
Even worse than this is holden bringing out a HQ from factory with a rotary in it now thats just really really wrong.
