i'll take a guess and say 1985

utes are every where

im gussing its a holden motor and box a ford diff and the tray is tubed

i think if you should try and stay with the same make at least ??

every one is different .... the ute looks sic tho

its a bit like if i put a 350 chev in a xy ford its not right

if every second car i saw on the roads had a nissan v6 in it, then thats what my ute would have got

i think its just coz its a holden engine, its a bit gay

Dont joke about that 350chev into an XY. A tosser (I thought so) put a GEN 3 into a XYGT, NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Then they put it in street machine for all to see. Nice looking car they you look under the hood.

Each to their own but there is some things you just DONT do.


Sorry lads/lasses, I had to vent

one of my mate s ( ford fan ) got given a holden onetonner ute hz? and put a 351 in it so wronge could you think of when its time too sell lol

crossbreeding is fun.

what makes the V6 such an unattractive option? wouldn't a VT supercharged V6 go even better?

and so what if you can;t go around corners in it? is that the point of that build? if so, why did you start with a ute? since when did utes become the new 2 door sports saloon?

so many questions, even more opinions, even less real answers.

thanks for that nonsense reply

anyway, i and many others have a zero tolerance rule for cross motor swaps

however, if you the holden vsuks rings your bell, please be sure to get the car running and keep it for awhile or we'll be forced to snort at another project biting the dust (ala tt & ute proj. & resto)

since when did utes become the new 2 door sports saloon......... cuz its auzzie to drive a ute :) and wit less weight they do better burnout lol

is matbighat a kiwi ( vsuks ) lol

pigdog well done on the conversion being the second one ive seen.......
firstly its a hell of a job using self guidence and no references to go by .You will find once its done many will follow ....
my brother has a v6 in a ####ter toyata old arse ute in vic not much keeps up with ....
the V6

thanks, the ute will be finished one day.....and never going to be sold, dont think its really worth anything

doing conversions with pretty much no reference is what i do, spare cars make it easy to undo mistakes
