There was a synchro running around Taree a couple of years ago with a 3.6 in it ,ran very nicely & looked like a good conversion.

Not sure if the Regency Parks lads will allow that... Plus, Subie is a smoother, lighter engine that fits the car better than an all-iron Commodore
donk.

do u have to go VN?
later series like VP rectified the bugs from the initial VN models...
Same goes with not using VR series one... would go VS motor instead.
all in all, their hp is alright... but the best factor about the commodore donk is the torque more than anything. if you wanted hp, even the later
camry v6's made 20 more hp with only 3000cc...
(ô_!_/ô) (ô_!_/ô)
69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears. 
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta! |

I hope you've saved up for a decent trans. that is the real cost in this conversion. I'd reckon a 2 litre combi box with a full albins gearset is
what you need. if you ring them they make a ratio package especially for the holden V6 conversions. you may also want to think about a super diff or a
peloquin LSD. not cheap, but otherwise you will EAT trans at a nightmarish rate.

well the K frame should be here by next weekend if the ebayer ever responds !!!, Im looking into a Kaefer bar setup for the type 3 with no luck, so
the 30mm torsion bar is looking the go, as to gearbox still trying to hunt down a 2lt box in my price range....not easy!. The motor fits in like it
belongs, only one small adjustment to the back of the deck lid opening to get it almost flush with the existing box/transaxle, unlike the Kombi i dont
have to adjust the rear thermo housing or move the sensors, they all sit above the opening, just need to custom some stainless piping, thats easy as I
work in a winery  and its everywere. If anyone can help with parts I can
pay in wine LMAO (I dont drink the stuff.....scotch or bourbon all the way for me). as to wiring up I bought a complete VP fuse box and am looking
to Custom make a dash with the VN calais Digital dash so all the looms will work together, not sure yet but its there just in case I go that way, the
radiators going in the front spare wheel well, with moulded fibreglass bumper/forced air intakes. Roll cage is still in production, hope to have pics
to post in here. Let the good times ROLL!

Well its been a while the project was put on hold for a while as we have moved twice in 3 months, the shed is being built as we speak (am doing this
myself), once the sheds up the 3 comes out of storage and back into restoration/customization, will have some new pics up for everyone shortly after
its settled and de-stressed

Hey VN/VP motors are a good choice, they are strong and reliable, easy to retrofit the engine management system, easy to get parts or even replacement
motors. Sure they're heavy and a little on the thirsty side but where else are you gonna get that sort of power & torque for that price?. If they
were $hit motors there wouldn't be so many of the damn things on the road...
