v8 into fc

[pete]

Hi fella's has anyone out there got any info on v8's into fc or any pics at all

[FC-V8]

Hi Pete
       In the photo section there is some good photos of fe/fc's being modified with holden v8(ED'S WAGON)commordore v6 (JASON'S VAN & SGO'S SEDAN) & chev v8(MY WAGON).
       Attempting these type of modifications is a slow & exspensive process but if you have the skills to do the majority of the mod's yourself the more money you can spend elsewhere on the car.
       Have a look at the photos & I know the people on this site will do their best to answer any questions you have.
Cheers
Glenn

Hi Pete
       The kit that i am using are from Castlemaine rod shop in Victoria. It included the chassis rails with gear box crossmember,tailshaft catcher & plates that are welded to the underside of the front chassis, modified HR front crossmember with the engine mounts welded on to suit the v8, Extractors, Shortend LH rack & pinion steering with modified HR steering arms,tranmisson tunnel.

Hi Glenn , well i'm from little old Tassie and at the moment the motor will be a holden 8 with auto not sure about the diff prob. commodore. Won't put too big a donk in it , it will mainly be a Sundy cruiser with that sweet v8 sound.
