    gromet88 got a reaction from deankxf in 351 ?   
    Sadly not all. Some were 302 and even there were a few 6s but they are rarest of all as 358(ish) from memory were 351. The only things with Cartier’s that you could not option was the colours and the interiors. You had a choice of 2 colours, a port wine burgundy or a special gold blend, and the interior you only had 1 choice. But with the purchase, you received all the special badging and special embroidery, and you also, wait for it, as a ‘gift’, received a purse, an umbrella, and a limited edition Cartier Watch. You could also ‘add’ to the options of a briefcase, perfume, socks and a tie.
     
     
    On the topic though, have you got any photos of the whole car? Is the whole car for sale or just the motor?

    OK, after reading that a few times,
     
    You would like to know the inside diameter so you can find some heavy springs to fit?
     
     
    Have you been to your local Repco/Sprint/Autobarn? They would be able to tell the number straight up, and if you find a half decent (rare these days) attendant, they might actually be able to point you in the right direction.
     
    What do you need hardier set for? Have you thought about Air Shocks?

    gromet88 got a reaction from eckk in which 4.0l engines will fit xh ute ?   
    All EF onwards will fit, just the further up you go, more work you have to put into with wiring, dash, and engine mounts. Safe to stay with EF/EL if you just want to slam it in and get back on the road quicker. Most people go AU with EF/EL/XH as they dont need much to modify, compared to a BA engine
