    This is also the understanding I had, that it was based on the highest output engine proved for that model. I wonder if a series 2 could be classed as a similar model as the stage 1’s

    A Stage 1 is a Series 3 - I dont think Stage 1 is an official name and it is actually something like Series 3 V8 - but we also put the Isuzu in it.

    I read through pages and pages of regs on the power increase thing.

    There are 2 codes. One is the 20% increase or whatever the figure is, and is the code that most of us use I guess. HOWEVER! it's not the end of the story, if you want to go bigger you can with a 4x4, there is another code that is for 4wds that allows a bigger increase in power, I didn't read all the regs on this one because I wasn't really interested in the fine details at the time. The gist of it seemed to be that you could do pretty much whatever power increase you wanted; obviously there was engineering needed and I'd assume brake upgrades etc.

    Just think of all those guys who have 800nm patrols - they have FAR FAR more power than the 20% increase, more like 150%.

    Beware using Stage 1 engine numbers. They were LWB 109" only. Paul, is yours an 88"?

    Yes wanted to put it in the 88, could throw it in the 109, it has been plated for the 4bb1 and MSA transmission, but requires more work. Really want the 88 going
