Jeez Ben you don't look old enough to know what miles per gallon is - I thought youd be a litres per kilometer kinda guy

It is interesting though, for good preformance and economy a hot six may be the way to go, and think of all the engineers costs you save, I think it would equal the cost of an engine rebuild.

true true about the engineering costs.. $600 for the cert. pretty expensive..

but like craig says. a standard v6 puts out 130kws.. 202 standard is like 85kws..

fair difference hey.. me n jock are both really confused which way to go with motors for our vans..

my old man talks in miles per gallon.. its funny cause other mates will say yeh my car does 10lt to 100kms and im like yeh what is taht in mile per gallon? and there like what is mile per gallon?? haha

just like i have a full set of metric ring spanners and sockets.. and i flippen never use them!!! haha

Yeah it is interesting I had played with the idea of a V6, but going by the artical in this thread, and balancing power verses ecconimy and cost, well I suppose it depends on what you want doesnt it, a tyre shredder or daily transport.

For me being an old fart, and tight for money, a good warm six seems like a great option. and put some money into power steerting and Boris would be a sweet combo.

[Warren]

Well maybe a hot 6 on gas and a 5 speed would be a good combo

All without the cost of a engineer.

Hey Warren The hot 202 is the go but if you are going to do any towing Auto is the go I would like to find out if there is an adaptor kit to bolt a Holden Jatco 4 speed O Drive auto to the 202 you could keep your low ratio diff & the O Drive 4th would give you good cruising ratio Cheers Reid

[ben]
