Title: V6 Conversoion Post by: hrpremier on August 11, 2008, 09:19:57 PM I was hoping someone out there who has already completed a V6 conversion into a FC could give me a list of primary parts useful to complete the project. I have my complete donor car and have stripped the wiring loom, steering colum interior at this stage but not sure what exactly I need to make the conversion easier. I plan to use as much running gear from my vs donor car as possible ie brakes etc so with that in mind any help is greatly appreciated. I know its a bit of an open ending question but not sure what I am getting myself into. I have an engineer to do the conversion but he's out of the country on holidays at the moment so he's unatainable.
Thanks in advance Jase 4869 Title: Re: V6 Conversoion Post by: old-blu on August 12, 2008, 10:00:18 AM Hi Jase. Where abouts in Oz do you reside? I have completed a VS into a Ute using an Insurance wreck. I used an HR front end with with a rear mounted shortened Commodore rack. The sump modification is available, as is the wiring loom to the original dash units. Happy to help if I can. I used a VN oil filter & fitting to make room for an Idler pulley out front for A/Con. Most parts are available. I wanted to use Struts for the front suspension, however, even by cutting down the inner skirts , still ran out of room. There are workshops now that do a " drive in / drive out " conversion. Cheers old-blu.

I am located in Cairns FNQ so no doubt to far away from much assistance in person. Not to many members on the forum this way I bet. Any photos or pointers would be appreciated. Kindest Regards Jase 4869 Title: Re: V6 Conversoion Post by: JB on August 13, 2008, 09:09:19 PM Mate, give me a call...
