Guys
I am about to buy another classic Rangey to lift and pimp for off-roading. It will be my fourth rangey, after an '88 3.5 and a '92 3.9 EFI. Never mind the P38.
Any view on the best classic to go for? I'm thinking the 3.9 or 4.2 for extra power, but I'm told the 3.9 is bomb-proof, the 4.2 less so.
The last 3.9 I had was great, but prone to the temp gauge topping out when off-roading necessitating spells with the bonnet up!
Also, do you reckon its best to skimp and get a crappier 1000-2000 unit given I'm going to lift it, or shell out more for a really clean chassis for the longer run?
Any thoughts appreciated!
