I have duals in one of the cars here and hard case usage still gives 450 for 120 litres foot flat The you can carry some fork bottle and top it as well where there is a will etc

No hassles then. $2800 for a low KM motor and I will fit it. (Been quoted $1500 to pull one motor out and install the 2nd one! I think a couple of weekends are worth $1500) BTW I've been quoted $8k for total install of the Holden 3.8, $10k for the V8 and $12K for the 1UZE (That last one included the motor drive in drive out) Seeing as the vehicles only worth around $6k on the market with a working motor spending twice that on just an upgrade is not worth doing. If I want to spend $12k I'll spend it towards a newer vehicle I think.
