tottot - GM L33 engine (mostly standard), GM4L80e gearbox (strengthened), LT230 (modified where possible) no particular use in mind, just doing it because I can and want to. jamesmartin - I'm going to do the P38/Defender power steering conversion, happy with making new props, thanks for the tip...

I need something that will be reliable with more bhp/torque. If the Salisbury isn't the one what else could I use or use and upgrade? Cheers.
