Dont know If I'm in the right place, but I just bought an AU XR8 ute July01 narooma blue, auto, genuine hardlid, full options, 120k, mint condition for 14k. I've been told that its a 220kw engine and I've been told its a 200kw engine. Does anyone know how to tell. Cheers

I believe it will be the 200 kw engine. You verify it simply as all the 220 kw engines have a name plate of the engine builder on the left (I think) rocker cover.

AUII utes only got the 200kw. Pursuit utes and T series got the 5.6 stroker.
200kw motors also had a plaque with the engine builders name. |

But back onto the subject, the AU3 utes only got the 200KW engines even though the sedans got the 220!! I agree with Pinkbits that it should only be a 200KW engine and I had a hell of a fight with the dealer to try and get a 220KW when they replaced the engine to no avail.............

Just a quick message asking for your help! looking to buy a AU2 XR8 ute but don't know what the difference is between the AU2 XR8 pursuit and the standard XR8?
done some limited research and they seem to have the same power output so what's the advantage in the pursuit? PLEASE HELP |
