Yes Uncle Ho, it really is a satisfying engine. Mine is going very well at the moment. Drove into town and back today (60k each way), a not unpleasant trip albeit a bit noisy - will hold 100kph except on hills, and very smooth and tractable round town. Only problem round town is occasionally you miss power steering, and of course there is the security problem with a ute (move all your shopping into the fornt every time you park, then move it back when you leave to make room for the passengers). Fuel economy could be better, but that is one of the things you pay for having 7:1.
