To put a v8 in there the way it is set up would mean losing the air cond if you didn't severely recess the firewall, as you would lose the room for the thermos fans pushing everything forward and the condenser wouldn't have room in front of the radiator anymore.
Or if you wanted to keep the front the way it is now then would require a firewall refresh as I have done in the ute to accommodate the extra 2 cylinders... Either way not a little job, but a lot of fun doing it! Lol
Probably a set of Caltracs on the back to get the power to the floor as well lol, I know you like it sideways...
Cheers
JB

Nah what JB means is that the plugs are the same for V8 and the mounts are too... Although you may need to move his forward to negate moving the fire wall. Wafer thin thermos then!(and keep aircon!!)

Read my thread (when I went from 6 to  engine harness comes with engine and uses same body harness plugs as VT V6. Need an 8 computer but u buy that with the engine. Bell housing different on the box so- Buy a complete engine box harness computer (and I'll give you the HSV tune) and the V6 conversions gearbox mount is turned backwards exactly the same as a commodore does to suit the new gearbox position. Then I'll reprogram your instrument cluster to be on police mode with digital speedo! Too easy. |
