what do you reckon?

hiya,i,m been toying with the idea of choping in my beloved 1998 3.9v8 which is lpg for a newer td5 shape 4.0 v8 but after a bit of research i,ve come to the conclusion parts etc are very expensive so i,m keeping the old truck for a while longer but with 125000 on the clocks the engines feeling a bit tired what will it need to respruce a bit of life into it(camshaft etc)or do i let it go?i,ve read so many horror storys about trading for newer models only for engines to blow up or gearbox to go what do you think

if its been looked after that kind of mileage is nothing! ive seen em with near 200000 and still sweet as a nut

cam/chain/tappets & change all the oils... you won't believe the difference. It ain't the mileage on the RV8 but how often its been serviced. Had a 3.9 classic on 194,000 which ran miles smoother than the 114 P38 4.0

Engine on the RRC felt like it had another 200k to give... shame the rust had other ideas!

cheers lads,just the answers i,m looking for,looks like i,m off to craddocks spares the weekend to do a bit of shopping(cam,tappets etc)anyone done a camshaft/timing chain change?how difficult?anything to look out for.thanx for replies
