Just thought I would mention I have fitted the Chev V8 from Brunswick Diesels. Brought the Kit and had it fitted in
Melbourne. The modified 5th gear kit was part of the kit. The kit comes with all of the parts and hoses to do the install. Had to replace the 5th gear main shaft in the process as the spline was almost worn off. Took it for a run last weekend, what a beast!!

G'day Ted, welcome to the Chev world! Isn't it great?
Now, is yours a turbo? What diff ratio are you running? What revs does it pull at 100k/h or 110 k/h in 5th with that new gear? Have you got some
suspension lift to avoid the front diff's flange hitting the bottom of the starter motor?
Cheers mate and enjoy the experience........I don't expect you'll be back on here to respond for some time, as you'll be out'n'about in the "truck"....hahaha

Hi Ted,
just read ya story on the 6.5 in a GU,
does the engine have a mechanical injector pump or a electronic pump,
if its a mechanical ,I think you will find it doesn,t meet the emission ADR,s
that the GU must comply with . The 6.5 built after 96 all had electronic engine control to help it meet emissions ,in this case its unroadworthy .
let me know a bit more .
cheers mechpete.
