Hello all,
I wanted to hear from anyone who has put a V8 into a GQ. I have a 1990 VQ Statesman and a 89 GQ patrol. i have done heaps to the patrol, but am now living and working in Perth, and the big girl drinks me under the table, although its amazing the difference a set of spark plugs makes to fuel economy!!

the statesmans body is starting to show signs of a hard life, and i am considering trading it for something else a little smaller. at the end of the day i will still have two vehicles with all the ongoing costs that that involves, registration, insurance etc. the statey is currently more fuel efficient than the patrol, and i wonder firstly will that carry over with the conversion, secondly does the motor bolt up to the gq's gearbox and what you guys rekon i should do. My kids love the forby, we get a way camping alot, but driving it around town is bloody expensive.

any suggestions or tales of your own experiences would be appreciated...
