My G220 has done over 300,000km and the Triton 5.4 3V is dead. It's the Canadian built engine, not the local product. Anyone know where I can get a reco short motor in Australia pronto?

Apparently Bursons are agents for motors. Be sure to specify what you are after!

Yep Bursons have them through HM Gem Engines. $6800 for the long motor or $4,000 to recondition the existing one.
My guys at South West Automotive on Torquay are going to pull it out and recondition it themselves. Thanks for the hint though! |

Could very well be one in Moolap but my boys at South West Automotive are my relo's and I support their business, as they do mine. They are also damn fine mechanics.

It appears that the whole bottom end has crapped itself. I am still waiting for more info from Simon about the status but we have decided whatever the condition, it will be rebuilt. One month off the road so I have to suffer with the wife's Alpha 156 Monza (a damn fun car to drive!.

Do you still need an engine? A mate just wrecked out a G220, and still has all the running gear. Low k's too, IIRC.
Let me know, and i'll pass you his details. Cheers,
