You know a mechanic is a great metaphor for a problem solver. You simply believe a thing can be done, get into it, and start tackling the problems you find one at a time, making it work, inventing parts, modifying parts to fit, until you've accomplished their functions. And I think I can, becomes I did it, becomes empowerment over the helplessness, the cries, and complaints that trouble us.

Worked at Mark's for a few months and got to drive their patrol both on portals and off and it's a beast. Yes about $50k point the road is about right including engine. What was even better than the patrol was their 105 Landcruiser with the Duramax and 6l80e conversion. That cost MANY moneys to build but wow does it drive good. I prefer the old na 6.5 chev for sound with turbo wakes them up pretty well to but the Duramax makes them a real hotrod.

Cummins patrol is definitely the truck feel and sound your mentioned at the start. Definitely more potential and easier to get in the patrol. I offered to bring mine in when I was passing through about 6 months ago but I couldn't hang around to get an answer. Duramax is sweet but cummins for the win is my opinion.

Cummins are generally the loudest and Duramaxs are usually the quietest. Powerstrokes are pretty much dead in the middle soundwise. I have a personal 2018 Super Duty 6.7 Powerstroke and a 2019 GMC Duramax for work(I have to drive to large jobs sometimes through several states, so no wear and tear on my vehicle). The GMC almost makes zero noise, my truck let's you know it's a diesel but it's not droning along. I personally prefer the Powerstroke 6.7. It feels more torque-y and smoother under load. The Duramax almost feels like a gas engine in how it delivers power but the torque is still there.

If you are not needing long range for remote touring, a big petrol v8 makes sense.. My GU has a turbo/intercooled TD42 auto, which has been more trouble than it's worth.If i were to do a build I'd use a LS3 with an 8 speed crate setup. Maybe even the new GM series motor if the prove reliable. Heck of a lot cheaper than a V8 diesel LC or v8 petrol patrol.

After hearing about it vaguely in other videos (esp the TD42 Patrol series, as I recall) for years, great to finally see the Duramax Patrol. Maybe an obvious answer to this one, but: Would changing the front axle setup so the center member was on the passenger side mitigate some of these issues? I can imagine lots of reasons why not, but if the transfer case and front driveshaft led to so many changes, I could also imagine it being the same or less work on balance.

Good idea, but I suspect it'd be even more of a mission than the standard configuration. You'd need a custom front axle, and the transfer case front output would somehow have to stick out into the passenger side (Australian cars-wise) rather than the driver's side.

If you're looking for future projects, not sure how different the Mondeo you get is to the us Fusion, but I recently saw a hoonigan video, guy swapped a full mustang driveline into a Fusion ( both current generation). The rear subframe/suspension literally bolted right up, and the front subframe bolts were within 1/2 inch of bolting up. Just had to make a tunnel for the trans and driveshaft. But it's a nearly bolt up conversion to make a 4 door mustang.... It's not a falcon...but...
