Thanks mate. I might try to chase some of it up. I don't see the sense in adding 50kg worth of dynamat when sound insulation isn't a prob - it's more the heat off the tunnel & floors (I've already made heat shields for the exhausts).

do you want me to post a peice down to you as a sample so you can stand there with a peice and the sales guy can look at you stoopid anyhow..

Thanks for the offer, but I should be right - we have a couple of reps at work who call on a few places who assemble motorhomes & caravans, so I'll get one of them to do the "look stoo-pid" part for me....

I'll let you know how I go.

Good stuff. I like picture updates on this thread. Hanging out for the one where the 5.4 Boss motor goes in. Or an FPV tweaked turbo 6 with the 6 speed auto, that'd be good too.

when i got into it the 5.4 is way too big too fit..turbo 6 would also be a nightmare..if it has to be re engined its the old faithful 302 windsor which would go in..easy and basic..

No point reinventing the wheel. Go the easy proven way when needed.
