Looks like a Chevrolet LUV -- but those are supposed to be four-cylinders

LOL Ange glad you didnt find it :)
L28 wouldnt have been just as cheap with more oomph Actually that would be a nice setup some kind of straigh 6 or 2 x A series and lots of carbs of twin turbos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5y3a2did4E

No doubt north south setups are the best for handling in a ute
so I agree DD that caddy could have used a subey or wasserboxer However I did miss that white datto sedan thread! wow looks ace what is it running and any other info? I also dont mind engine behind the rear wheels in a very low configuration like porsche or subaru sambar setups which are more fun than midmount well until you exceed its limits and can never catch the rear fast enough!

Somewhere in the shed I have an adaptor plate and flywheel to bolt an A series to a Kombi box
I think the guy I got it off had a rear engined beachbuggy No plans to use it yet though

A good way to turn a well-handling ute into one that isn't "all that planted". A better way might be a more centrally located engine (engine right behind the lower back panel) driving an IRS unit. Might be enough room there with the long wheelbase ute
I don't recall any rear-engine 1200s except this one Attach file: 166047-1891442.jpg (169.31 KB)

why no one has done a lightweight 1200 with rear engine https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cultu ... 6-is-a-truck-full-of-rad/
