What V8?

<< < (2/6) > >>

littlepow:
That was my main idea to try and use a Hilux gear box and transfer box (for the 2wd option).

Now need to look for 80 series axles!

V8MoneyPit:
You are 'going for it! Looking forward to seeing this creation  :thumbup: Have you sold the td5?

littlepow:
Td5 goes up forsale at end of the month - just need to replace the rear door as it has terminal rot. Then it will be off to a new home  :'(

But I do get to play mad scientist with a new project!  :twisted:

bigant:
maybe pick up a cheap yank pickup or a blazer or something? nice big v8 then :) pull the gear box and axles off it and make them fit your motor as they are about a million times tougher than landy items and are built to take the power from a big yank V8 :)

littlepow:
Not going the Yank V8 route - not a fan of large capacity pig iron lumps with little power to capacity ratio.

Either Jap for reliability and strength with light weight or a disco V8 for ease of parts.
