Chev/Ford V8

Funk; as much as free stuff is a good thing, your choice of base vehicle, makes to me at least, a no-go project. We only got NAS 110's for one year over here. And after seeing that one go this year at Barrett-Jackson, for over 75K, I can't see putting anything Non-Rover in your particular truck. If you had a DI, or RRC, sure. But not with a 110.

Thanks guys...Xtreme nailed my sentiments exactly. It's not like slapping a V8 into an old FJ or even a Series vehicle (sometimes I still wish I had my 109)...I've heard that with all the BBQ'ing and off-raoding going on, there are about 325 or so left out of 501 or 502. Hell, British Pacific mentioned that two of them were lost out here in the Malibu fires last year.

My buddy is really being the good friend and pushing me to use his drivetrain but it doesn't seem like a good move.

I'm debating on the RPI 4.6 with the reconditioned Stage I head or on the low end, a rebuilt from somewhere like Roverland Parts. I'll probably go with the rebuilt because I have two small kids and need to save some $$$. I'd love to go with a diesel but they won't pass smog out here. I've kinda been wondering how so many CA cars are running diesel.

***Off topic***

BTW, can someone tell me who's 110 was used in the Columbia commercial or the Lost episode recently?
