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.

Add to that, what makes you think the g16b isnt up to the job ? 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

are there many Vitara diffs running 37s ? there are a few hilux diffs running 37s

maybe 60 series diffs would be better , still like the idea of dana 60s though

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

Then you need to answer these questions. Its no good having it geared at 260:1 if your only running 29's and taking it for moonlight drives along the beach.

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.
