Your wellcome Eddy-going by the photo of your bedford in your profile-i see its not much point having a big diesel in that van-so yes you be better off with the 308.
No i didnt know you dont need engineers for the 308 in Aust but we have to in NZ weather its petrol or diesel.

hey eddy.. ive tried to go down that path..

the problem that arised in my experience..

holden have chucked the paperwork.. so you cant prove this to roadworthy man.. or vic roads..

i did a fair amount of research and no cigar.. and every old school beddy owner has a different story on how many were brought out and everything..

one guy said 50 x lwb 350 chev turbo 400 12 bolt diff

another said 6 x 308 turbo 400 dont know diff

another said 4 x same as above..

another guy said there was a guy doing multiples of the first conversion on the lwb in qld for years.. all certificate compliant..

hard to know exactly what happend.. i could not source any concrete info. all what people thought happened.

Yes Eddy-we do look after our beddys-my dad & i built our camper in 1979 and had years of TLC.

Yes we have to have an engineers cert before we can get a WOF-witch is fair enough because i have seen some dodgy conversions that can be bloody dangerest.
