    First trip

    Just home from an overnight visit to my sister at Dalby. First trip away with the new 4.6.
    A totally different towing experience. 70 kilometers out of the 100 kays to Dalby is speed limited to 90 with double lines the whole way, and the big difference was the 4.6 is happy just dodling along at around 1900revs,, On the trip back managed a good 20 kays at 100kph and the car and van loved it.

    Pedro,
    Was the 4.6 from a donor or a new unit (long block or short block) and dare I ask the overall total cost of the engine plus labour (very approximate). This is my plan when my V8 hits retirement.
