    3.9 V8 rebuild

    ok the punt i took on a D1 hasn’t turned out so good but not bad either.

    A new motor is going in this week which gives me a block to play around with.

    So open to suggestions and information, of which way to jump when building a 3.9 mainly for LPG and mostly town driving. as its SWMBOs wagon and its main duties will be shopping ( spending my hard earned dosh) and running minime to Kindy etc, thus that makes a 2" lift and 32" duelers mandatory.

    Anyway back to this motor that I will have sitting in the garage.

    top hat liners
    extractors
    bearing rings.

    they are the obvious
    but what about taking a bit off the head or deck to up the compression a bit, what sort of cam ( with an auto) etc etc

    You can add High Compression pistons to your list if LPG is the fuel of flavour .
