    Hi,

    Wasn't Rays hi-ace a V6?

    Not sure if it was supercharged, though.

    yeah river rays hiace was running a commo V6(unsure if it was a vn-vr or vs-vy motor though)
    unsure of how early the OP is talking but rays was an chasis whereas im pretty sure the late 80s hiace are monocoque or whatever it is

    Hi,

    There is a forum member attempting this swap, thread here - http://www.toymods.net/forums/showth...rcharged+hiace , but he hasn't updated the thread in awhile. Maybe send him a pm and see if he can help out.

    Failing that try this bloke - http://www.v6conversions.com.au/. He will be able to answer the questions that you have.

    Cheers,

    Pete

    The trucks run a full chassis but all the vans were monocoque shells.
