WTB V6 Engine Adapter Plate & Flywheel
Hi Dubbers
I am looking for an engine adapter and flywheel to put a Holden V6 onto a '70s bus transaxle.
If you don't have an adapter, but have done it before, I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks |

Hell yes! Buick power for the win!
Sorry I had to say that Holden series 2 buick v6's are lovely
engines.
My daily drive is one 
Just change the manifold gasket what you are at it as the factory one is nearly 100% guaranteed to start leaking coolant.
Lucky the gaskets always leak outwards and not into the engine

John Sherman
Thanks
Isn't John Sherman the owner of Volksconversions?
They have a kit that costs $700. After talking to my local engineering shop expert, $700 is a very reasonable price!
If I can find a second hand kit, then good, otherwise I will gladly spring for the new kit from
If I can get it all together it is going to be an exciting overpowered drive!
Too much power is barely enough! |

did you know extractors on those engines can point either directions? Pacemakers would go great on them.
I also got a tune from this guy. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/nicefrog/
I also install my very own made big bore throttle body and CAI. Also match pored and polished the intake elbow(TB one)
All I know is my commy now does 0-100 in 7. Most likely less if I could shift better on that truck like T5
And..........AND  I get avg 6L/100 on the highway
