Looking good sofar, I have done the V8 in Sierra thing, now busy with a Sierra with straight six.

[jlebenon]

What straight six?

[wanegofast]

[hanov0]

4l Falcon, turbo charged.

May I ask what gearbox u running in the sierra.

[hanov0]

I had a T5 but sold it before I break it, got a Lexus box for a good deal so lets see if it holds up..

[Shaunp]

Any contacts for a T5 box... I hear the 4.0 falcons also cone with a T5.

[hanov0]

No sold mine , wasn't going to hold up in any case.
Rather look for a Toyo fat box.

[FPT]

I thought the T5 was quite bulletproof!

Following your build with intrest...
