What are you trying to achieve? What sort of Chev V6? If you're going to move to all Hilux gear I'd suggest it's much easier to start off with a Hilux. |

So why are you asking when you're clearly all ready to start it? If you had the expertise to complete a build of this nature you probably wouldn't be asking here. |

I've seen one pushing 40' tyres hold its own very well against v8's and big turbo diesels, in fact the steering gave out before the motor did

It's a 350 with two cylinders lopped off. Hard to believe, but it might be even crappier than the 3.8 Buick motor. Steve. |

Its no good having it geared at 260:1 if your only running 29's and taking it for moonlight drives along the beach. madmacca wrote: obviously this isnt for the road ,

Just looked it up. Would that mean that upgrades for the SBC work for the v6? What tranny has it got? Edit: if the SBC apple lands close to the tree, its going to need those upgrades

i reckon you'd have way more fun with just a rear locker in a stock vitara and bouncing it up all sorts of obstacles. |

awesome- all the disadvantages of a hilux and a vitara rolled into one car. Bendy chassis - check Stuff all wheel travel and short front springs - check Narrow track - check Crappy steering Big heavy body with high centre of gravity - check Huge, vulnerable doors tiny load area (considering) add in masses of work, and huge difficulty in making it legal - what a waste of time. 60 series or rover diffs under a vitara chassis? much better outcome. Steve. |
