That said it still will if you play silly buggers in it.

You mean 10 spline;)

a 93 will have 10 spline axles

yes it is as much work but im looking at all options cost and difficulty

The only reason i mentioned a V6 is they are a cheaper engine than the V8 but the power is all wrong for a big 4x4

As ive said in other posts i don't have the luxury of doing it twice or making every mistake possible along the way so i better ask a lot of questions mow

A lot of people say a 4.6 is an easy conversion but it costs an arm and a leg for a good motor

3.9 or 4.0 are the other suggestions witch is more than likely the path ill take

I stand corrected - I cant even say it was a typo as the 2 and 0 keys are on the oposite ends of the key board:eek:

Worst part is I knew that, old age creeping in I suspect :D:D
