I have a V6 engine out of a commodore.  Wanting to know how to go about putting this into my FJ van.  What tailshafts, diffs, frontend and gearbox's to use? Approx cost?

Search this site for "Pat Gardner".  He specialises in this conversion, and could give you a quote.  There is at least one post in here with his phone number.
cheers RET

I have also been looking at putting a V6 into an FE Panel Van and have had information from Pat Gardener and The Castlemain Rodshop. The rod shop sent via post information including the various differences in models regarding change over. The price list was also included. On Pat Gardeners site the list price was $2085 for the change overkit. So far I have not been able to come up with the solution for the rear end. But am working on it.  If any one else has any ideas could you let us know. Regards Jason

Hi, with regard to your question. Get the quoted price for parts and... triple it. Thats a good estimate on turnkey conversion cost. if you're good at planning and know lots of people, you may have some change for a nice stereo to go in it.
helpful?
