The WB 4 row has less cores but its bigger, and a crossflow actually cools better than a top to bottom, well in theory anyway. |

BBC will hit the factory aircon. It will clear everything else though except maybe the fuel pump. You can just squeeze them in with a little grinding using a manual streering box, no chance with a power steering box though.
If you modify the aircon box i

I agree. Also didnt realise you were intending dedicated LPG.
On the gearbox front, I recently looked into replacing my TH400 in my Overlander with a 4spd. Did a lot of reading on the web. You can buy a TH700 that is beefed up sufficiently to be able to |

Hi Byron.
The Holden Suburbans had 4L80-Es.
The 6L80-E has only been on the US market since the 04 or 05 model year.
