black 202 efi

[smithy]

hey nes, if i was in your spot id convert to the 202 now, have some fun and cruise. put your V6 on a engine stand and rebuild it, paint and polish it source some performance parts, twin throttle bodies / supercharger etc. gather all your conversion bits needed engine mounts, steering colum rack and peanut steering, ;D  headers, gearbox and crossmember and all the other little bits needed. you could even get yourself another HR crossmember and set that up for the V6 or buy one from one of the conversion places CRS, or  pat gardener www.v6conversions.com.au
a couple of grand there easy ???
not sure how your car is setup but you may even have to look into chasis stregthening aswell. this could all be done over a longer period making it easier to afford ;)

by converting over to the 202 now (if you go down the EFI path) you should have the some of the work done already completed, like the return lines fuel tank and pump and hopefully most of the wiring upgraded to handle the increased circuts, which leads me to ask about your wiring, is it still standard cause you may want to suss out whether it could cope with the EFI.
then when the time and $$$ are right convert over to the readyV6.

or take the easier way out now put the 202  in now, run it off whatever carby setup you like, no need for a lot of stuffing around, cruise then start collecting for your swap.
well thats my 2c worth ;D ;D

with the VR tank do you still have the filler in the original EK position or have you moved it? any cahnce of some pics please?
the FB was that the one in the latest cruzin mag if so it looked a nice swap.i have been trying to find some better pics showing the boot area but that is certainly an interesting option.

cheers

Dean,  the original wiring is in but i'm keen to give it a toss. I cut it to bit any way. With the V6 I was just going to buy a 500 dollar just out of rego jobby as a donor car. It has everything!
Where did you get your return fuel lines from? Did you make your fuel line larger?

 I used the lines out of the donor Commode , they fit straight in back to the rear spring hanger ,then a bit of minor tweaking and they look like they were made for it.
 Smithy , will take some pics this weekend , the filler neck has been put back to the original spot although I would like to put it behind a door to neaten the rear of the car up eventually.

nice blacky, very nice. might just have to look into that ;) ;).

nes, there was a post dealing with fuel lines just a couple of weaks ago have a read of it, im still working out which tank setup i will go with, once thats sorted then i'll have a stab at the fuel lines.

HEY BLOKE (BLACKY)
           Cheers for the photo. Did you know prior that the commodore lines were a close fit or did you hope for the best. How did you bend em?

blacky, what are you runnin up front?

[blacky]

 I bought the car already converted to a V6 and auto , the fuel lines were already in there but like all the other work on the car , were as rough as guts.
 I have been cleaning the car up , and repairing all the rust which had been bogged over ( see FB/EK website for more pics if interested ) . The fuel lines were riveted to the floor with bits of metal strapping , so I got another set off a donor because the old ones were almost rubbed through where the strap sat .They only need bending in the engine bay and where the floor kicks up to clear the diff - all the lines you can see in the photo are as the general made them.

[blacky]

 Sorry NES , I bend them with a pipe bender I bought from Bunnings. Does 1/4" , 5/16" and 3/8" pipe
