My FC has the exact same starter button too, I thought it had been added at a later date until my brother bought a 2a FC and that's got the same starter button in the same place too!

I've got one of the spare Chevy big blocks that was used in the JCB GT. I'll let it go for a good price if anyone wants to convert their fc

Certainly a 'neat' fit in terms of space available. Truck itself looks an absolute monster but looks absolutely bang on. I'd love to have a proper poke round it. I thought the phaser had the turno mounted at the back of the head, is this an unusual varient? How's the gearbox holding up? Is the sump...

I know the 6.2's have a bad rep, I've had a couple of bad ones over the years and have 2 that need stripping down and looking at at the moment, both Samurai engines funny enough. They'll never be a Cummins or Powerstroke but I still love 'em, especially with a turbo, they'll really move then! Person...

I plan on fitting a Mercedes OM617 5 cylinder turbo diesel in my One Ton when I start the rebuild. I'm running a Perkins 4.203 in my forward control which pushes it along quite well. I think a GM 6.2 diesel v8 would be good too, I love these engines, I've run them for years in chevy blazers and run ...
