[QUOTE="markgoldhunter, post: 261398, member: 1958"] thanks for your comments jon and if I had a 4.2 I would have no hesitation in a rebuild but the 2.8 was always under powered and has no torque to speak of. it managed with my old van at 17' but the one I have now is 19 and is about 3ton. so even in top condition that motor would struggle. thing is the rest of the car is in good shape and has all the extra bits in it. the v8 will most likely be better on fuel also as they change the diff centres to higher ratios as well so there is no need to rev as hard. but most of all I just love the sound of a v8.
