$500........................yes....$500. The owner couldnt be talked into registering it though. B...er. 4.2l motor and 4 speed ZF auto. Had to have my arm twisted a bit but I gave in and bought it. Will post piccs soon.

Bob, does it have red coloured rocker covers and no airflow meter? If so, it is a Vitesse 4.2 stroker, it'll have Motec engine management and is a VERY GOOD BUY!!!

Well done mate!!

Sounds like a good find. It's a stoker or Vitesse? Just make sure you have receipts for the 1st rego or Blue slip and engine number is legitimate. So long as road worthy should be easy. Don't mention it has been stroked if has a 3.5 engine number.

How does one tell the difference between motor sizes by the engine numbers? The owner says it goes really well[ sounds REALLY s m ooooooth when idling and under power] and when diesel prices was high he used it for work and got better economy than his diesel. Time will tell. Bob

They are hard to get now but in all reality still a good performance substitute for Flapper and hotwire.
