Hey posted on the mighty max sait but just found the asia pacific area...cool. i need some help and advice. My old 2.0l is a bit too smokey. its only got 100,000 ks on the clock but one too careful old guy owner has killed the engine. the rest of the ute is mint. i'm going to have to either recon or something the engine but if I'm spending the money would like to get better torque for towing etc. I'd prefer to keep the existing box so ideally want something to bolt up to that...so its either recon my shortblock and look for bolt on parts or get another engine that bolts to my box. very keen on some advice please.

:P hay buddy i have a 85 l200 4x4 it had a 2litre in it but it blew up. so i put a 2.6 out of a sigma in it. fit straight in i tow a car trailer with a valiant show car with it . the 2.6 makes heaps of diferance. hope this helps.
