Upgrading a 400 pre-cat to a 430?
Discussion
Having failed to find a 430 pre-cat for the last year I think I'm coming round to buying a sensibly priced 400 which has had the major bits seen to (out riggers, suspension and brake upgrades etc), in a spec/colour I like and then upgrading the engine to a 430/450.
Whats the views on this and the likely cost to take a serviceable 400 and rebuild the engine/gearbox/diff to a 430/450 spec?

Why not find a 400, drive it (you might even like it) whilst you are looking for a 430 (you might make money, instead of spending it on an 'upgrade')
Thats a sensible suggestion but I've already had a new 400, two new Tuscans and until this summer a 500 that I bought because I couldn't find the 430 (or preferably 450BV) that I wanted. So I've promised myself the next one is the keeper and hence needs to be the right starting point!
