Yeah 173 sorry. Cheers for that. So the engine mounts are the same and the suspension will handle? What is the easiest manual box to fit into the HZ ute? Sorry guys, these question have probly been asked a million times.

You will need the engine mounts as well....the mounting points on the frame are the same throughout the HQ-WB series.
You will also need to fit heavier V8 front springs.
