| Post subject: | What engine conversion?? |
Hey guys. I've bought a 94 model Sierra. She's a bit rough around the edges and needs a bit of work done on the body but I can do that myself with a few pointers and the right tools. The engine on the other hand is very tired. Due to an unfortunate accident I have the complete engine out of my 95 model vitara ready to be cleaned up and prepped for swapping into my sierra. I was discussing this with my mate and him being a rev head has suggested going to the council auctions and picking up a commodore and taking the engine and other bits out of that and putting it into the sierra. I'f this was the case then I would keep the efi vit motor and put it into a buggy of some sort and see how many times I can roll it Have many people done the holden 3.8 conversions and who would think this to be a good idea? the3 extra power would be awesome and I do realise I would have to increase the capacity of the fuel tank to stop it giving me the shits |

If you do a search for Commodore V6 you'l find this topic has been discussed many times. You'l also find very negative opinions of such a conversion, Seeing as you've already got the vit engine, do it! Commy conversion=crap IMO. luke3411 wrote: Have many people done the holden 3.8 conversions and who would think this to be a good idea? the3 extra power would be awesome and I do realise I would have to increase the capacity of the fuel tank to stop it giving me the shits
Fuel tank wouldn't be much of an issue (well, you'd have to mod it for EFI anyway), it's more that the engine weighs several times what a normal zook engine weighs. Also, with all the extra power, you're just going to brake everything. What are you using the car for? |
