Hi disco man here is a pic of the HULK that i own . We came 7th after a mix up in points counting ( was 8th) The vehicle runs a xfow 4.1 ford six turbo /haltec injection and intercooled . When we were passed on the flats doing our 110 km by a 6lt holden patrol we opted to fit a ls2 6lt when we got home . We did buy the brand new engine but that was years ago . Since then the vehicle is in a shed up on blocks waiting for the right time to bring it out again . Hope this helps regards

Bloody hell mate that is one awesome weapon of a truck. Good work to finish let alone so high up on the rankings very well done to you and your copilot. When i heard the HULK on the dvd i was trying to work out what the hell you had hiding under the bonnet. That was more of truck destroying exercise than a race i guess the dvd really dosent do justice to what it was really like. Must admit i was quiet surprised at how well the south american boys went it must be very different to what they are used to. I love mud as much as the next bloke but some of those crossings looked utterly insane. I didnt even think that maybe someone one the forum would be the owner of that beast i was watching very cool to talk to you about it. I would of thought a turbo crossflow would be able to compete with the 6lt. I guess there is no point throwing any more money at the 4.1 when there is far more potential in the 6lt. What's the next event for the HULK?
