Alternative motive power

[Rob Dyba]

Hi guys, as an experiment I thought I would trial fit a Commodore V6/Auto into an empty hull & see what the outcome would be. If this was to be something that a restorer was contemplating to do while an affordable flattie came along you would need to do a gearbox conversion, the Auto will not fit without cutting of the rails where the flatty would fit- not an option for me. I can't find an adaptor to mate a GM V6 to a CMPor Ford T8 box so that is that as V6/Auto goes unless you are prepared to remove a lot of original (structural) steel goes it's not a viable conversion. There is one Carrier owned by Emu Gully that is reported to be v6/Auto but I have not seen it move under it's own power, nor the install either.

Anyone got an adaptor to fit a V8 anything to a CMP box for sale? I have no flatties to spare, and to be honest I want a powerup over my STD LP carrier for a bit of fun.
