Default 4x4 build gear decision.

First this is not going to be a Haynes roadster build but i will be wanting to use the chassis to build on, it will be widend to give room for the T box. I am not after a light weight roadster, so this will not be for the Haynes purist in anyway, its a fun head scratching build i want to do, and fun at the end of it, ok if i get there lol.

I am getting the work shop ready for the long waited build, well the chassis area as its to small to build the car in there but the chassis will go in.

I have chatted in the past about this build and talked about using sierra 4x4 running gear along with a cossie V6 engine, what i am after now though as there are so many ways to go with this what other power plant would you recommend.
I would prefer a V engine as i just love the sound, i know the Colonge is heavy but cheap and good power for what you get, much the same a a rover V8, and in my budget as i am not loaded as this is a long term or wen eva its done project. i would be likley to get a non runner engine and box to build around then rebuild it when needed.

Jad IRS back end maybe?

so come on guys, i know theres lots of ideas and help out there, i want a list to go at then i can plan out from there.

cheers

wolly
