Default Holden 6 extracters

Quick question for the masses.

Will Torana 6 cyl extracters fit a VK commy?
ignore the 9/12 port head issues. other plans afoot

if they won't fit, is much massaging needed? they look like they'll come close to fitting, but I thought somebody may have actually tried/done it

from watching a mate do it ...no
the Commy rack is in the road
(remember the Torana is in front out of the way)..
but eventually it did...with a bloody great big ding
and twist

not sure if thats acceptable

the rack looked to be the issue, Smitty.

I reckon a bit of crafty cutting and welding would fix it. that was the only part that hit?
thanks for your help

Adam, I looked at it this way too. the only part that looks an issue is the Torry K-member.
the Commy ones may or may not hit the 45 degree angled leg on the K-member.
again, only a slight massage if they do

that's the one.

I believe a smoter is used to smote things

when you smite them, they are smote and are then considered smut

an answer to my initial question, and the possibilities posed by Smitty

the steering rack isn't an issue.
the early extracters need to be modified to clear the bellhousing and outer subframe brace.

I'm partway through the mods. pics to follow.

I was hoping to have this finished today, but I knocked off work at 6am and accidently slept until midday.
