    Ford 5.0 Windsor out of an AU. Reconditioned with new alloy heads etc $4000. Machine work by my good mate. I made the engine mounts and modified the Ford bellhousing to suit the ZF. Engineered too so 100% legal.

    Torque in spades. Seriously I never have to squeeze the throttle down more than 1/4 around town.

    Worth every cent.

    Which would be harder or more costly, (and stronger) to link, a LS x +6spd auto with a LT230 to the P38's props or a LS X + 6spd auto to the p38 borg transfer case?

    Mate, it's been done. A bloke over in the states has adapted a 4L60E to the borgy transfer and is running a 6.0 LS engine.

    The local 6L80E is far less bulky than the 4L60E apart from its height.

    If I had more cash, I may have went for the VE Holden 6.0/6 speed auto package simply for the gearbox otherwise I'd be happy to use a stroked 351 Windsor like 408ci.
