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

Thanks for that info ,very good pics. Need some info on the chassis rails,( home made or brought) any info muchly appreciated. Cheers.
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.

There is a thread in here, 3/4 chassis in ute, that should answer your questions.
Thanks again for the info. I've got an FC wagon and want to drop in an 8 and so far have found all these pics and info very helpfull ,so thanks guys .Will prob post some pics once I'm right into it & no doubt you'll get some more questions from me yet.
CHEERS Pete.
Hi Pete
A couple of questions for you:
What part of OZ are you in ?
What type of v8 & running gear are you thinking of installing ?
Glenn
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.
Cheers Pete
