Thanks for the good replys so far folks.

Find it interesting that no-one has jumped on the 'take it back to original' bandwagon

Playwme, that'd be the logical option, but you don't get a shed full of hoarded treasures being logical! Plus the HZ ute and the HX I'm never quite sure if it's a sandman or not van would be sad if they didn't get the handme down motors.

HK1837, thanks for the very detailed reply. Out of interest, if the main focus is economy, why wouldn't you go for the trimatic over the t400 given as I understand the t400 is going to take more just to turn it over? My main hesitation with EFI is I play with electonic control systems all day everyday, it's nice to go home to the shed and play with things that run without the need for computers.
