I rang around a little today, one place said $3,300 and another said $3,600. I got told that at the moment there is a government rebate. The $3,300 included it getting put on the dyno, having all new parts and it being guaranteed. I live in Tassie and it is legal to have a V8 on your P's here, I made sure of that before I bought the 253. Dad has a ute which he bought from Victoria that has a nice air cleaner on it, that ute is also dual fuel.
mmm i rang up vic roads before i bought my 308 they said yeas and the cops still took me off the road id double check with cops and your rta down there, i confirmed with vic roads and my insurance company but it didnt matter when i was pulled over 3 demerit points and $336 fine
I will definitely double check before taking the 6 out, thats for sure.
If you want fuel economy shove a Toyota Diesel in there.
I want my 253 to be as efficient as it can be.
There is a thing called going broke saving money. Spending 3k on a gas system is going to take forever to get back in fuel savings. Just tune it up properly and drive sensibly. You can't compare a motor designed in the 60's with anything that is current.
Doug, I would run a reco ww 2 barrel stomberg. The factory item on a red 253. A fresh 253 4 sp 3.08 diff should get approx 10 lt / 100 Km's which is fine.
Or run a Quadrajet so u can get around the log trucks but still have good economy
10litres to 100km is what my 2008 diesel hilux gets. Can't complain about that.
Good economy on the 253 but u will get beaten off the line by Hyundais
Probably will with a 308 these days.
