on it just dropped it in so far so good ,time will tell quite happy to be the test case . what fun i had which is the point is it not ? talk soon

Sounds like the simplest way to go for a 101.

Did you get enough run to click into O/D?

Glad you're happy.

Sounds like I now need to get a 101 and a 4.6 to go it!

well team
all finished , fixed manafold leak, sounds sweat, drives like it should
very happy with the result up to coopers for a tune on thursday mind you starts first go
so hopefully just a tick of approval

well hello team
just to finish up the tread, all done . took for a run on the feeway very nice to drive, had a tune up at coopers, all good, had a leaky hose, fixed, cruses along very nicely at 90kms no sweat with the overdrive looking foward to a long drive 4.6 is the way to go. hope this will help with others

Have you got before and after road test specs - fuel consumption specs.

Just the facts - says I green with envy.

Yes would love to see the comparative figures.

Is this a straight swap (engine mounts, gear box, same radiator etc etc) ? {Sorry for the naive question - newbie}

hi all
have not done the fuel thing yet, that is why they have such a big fuel tank inlet ( so you can get your whole wallet in ) but not foot to the floor driving !!!
yes a straight swap/ timing cover /oil pump/engine mounts etc with 20mm spacer (thanks ron) all good
thanks for all your help team 101
lol
