ke70, Holden ecotec conversion

[lexsmaz]

I think if he goes ahead with the conversion with the V6 he will be in a for a suprise as to the heavinesss of the steering too as the motor is all cast iron ..

The rattletec makes decent torque and they are $200, its not the most refined motor but if your skidding it then its a pretty good choice.

$200? Maybe if you spend $200 on fuel when going to pick up your free donor car.

Ive got a 3.8/T700in my Hiace. Technically it's still all Toyota as a Lexcen was used as the donor. Yep, they're rattly. But they're cheap as chips and give a good spread of power. I've got 2 spares Commodores (both freebies) but after 2.5 years nothing has been needed. Gearbox input shaft seal has just sh!t itself, which isn't too bad considering I was warned when I got the car that the gearbox would need replacing anytime soon. It's hauled 3/4 ton of tools every day , some days more than ton in the back and towing a 17foot Caravan. Value for money, you can't beat a Buick V6.

That's for one with a months warranty so after you sit it on the limiter for 10mins at the burnout comp and cook it you can get another
They are awesome value for money and make perfect donor motors for oh so many older utes/4WD's etc

Hey mate. You have the right to stick whatever you want into your car... After all it is yours. Good luck n post some pics when finished. Good to see a bit of originality instead of just 1 more sheep for the flock.

Any Updates? Photos of the final product? was thinking about buying another rolla and doing this for a skid pig, but might go the 5L instead...

Yeh mate, I've been driving it for couple of months now. I'll try post more pictures.
Said and done no more than 2000 spent. Has plenty of power.
