got over the IRS, too hard to make spring and shock mounts, so cut all the IRS stuff and the rear chassis out and made a new one

now has a cut down VN 28 spliner and 4 link. should pump out a bit more smoke now with the 3.08 diff gears
looks kinda dodgy at the moment as its sitting out in the rain so its gone a bit rusty...paint will fix that problem one day

Yeah i figure it already had a v6 in it. The question was what make of V6 ? But you have answered that with pictures The old Buick motor well originally, now revised for Commodores.

because all 4 links are parallel, doesn't that mean you are going to need a panhard rod or watts link?

Or is that only if you ever want to go around a corner

yeah panhard will be the next thing i do, doesnt have any spring or shock mounts yet so it wont be moving at any great speed for a while

it will need the ability to go round corners if it wants to evolve to a drift ute from a burnout ute

Is that your build up ? Or is it the one that was on here for sale a little while back ? Will be nice to see more progress pics as you go. So Commodore/Buick motor Or Chevy 229. New a guy in Sydney back in the day when all the Revheads hung At Maccas. He had a chevy 229 in a 1600 had a gilmer belt drive on it and it was Tough.

IRS was just annoying and only really done coz it was sitting there and thought it would be cool at the time

chassis is all done now, goes all the way to the firewall. just need to make the mounts for the top arms on the chassis and then make panhard mounts. then get some mig gas and have a day of welding it all up, then it will be able to move again.
only needs the fuel tank back in it to run, got a 120y fuel tank that mounts in that spot at the back and its modded so that it now has the VN intank pump in it
then cut down a commodore tailshaft and make mounts for the centre bearing (2 piece tailshaft) then re direct the exhaust so it clears
need to get an axle cut down for the diff too

lots of sorta smallish jobs but now tht the rears done it should be killing the worlds excess tyres in no time

oh and datsandy, its already got the v6 in and running

sweet! it would've been good to see an IRS set up in a 1200, but being a burnout car you wouldn't really need it, but still would've been cool though! looking so far!

 Re: v6 utes new 4 link
only reason for the IRS was so it could do this VVVVV, but it can be just as low with live axle and alot easier to do

thats a shame! would've been an interesting set up! can't wait for some burnout action shots. How much more has to be done to it?
