Im about to take the big step on my FJ project and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on whether the conversion from the old grey to the Holden 3.8 V6 is recommended or is there a better alternative. V6conversions in sydney have a fairly neat set up...(www.v6conversions.com.au)...ohhh and i have allowed a budget for this but like all good things i probably havn't allowed enough does anyone want to scare me with their experiences of cost for this part of the project???
Regards
Gavin
