carbi v6's - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

richo · 03-10-2008, 05:02 PM

hey guys,
me and my mates are building a vk/off road rally car out of a couple of vk rolling shells i have gathered over the years, we also have 2 3800 v6 engines and 5 speed boxes, and these are going to power the machine/contraption.
i was wondering how hard would it be to carbi one of these motors, is it possible to do so, does anyone know of someone who has already done it. maybe someone already makes the intake manifold.
any help will do

im not too sure how plausible it is, but wouldnt you just have to change the heads? dont take my word for it but thats the main thing i can think of

Others here will know more than I, but Im fairly sure you can still buy the carby intake manifolds from the U.S. and I think an importer will possibly have em already here in oz. So that takes care of the the intake side.

For yr spark, well I m quite sure that a competent auto lecky can rig it up using the original Crank Angle Senser thats already on the buick V6.

So if spark and fuel is on, than Ill reckon its a goer, A 350 holly would be a good size carb.

Why would you ?

Go and buy a written off VN v6 commy.... for 100 bucks and remove the engine and wiring loom.... and learn about what your doing... Youll be amazed how simple the procedure is sure it looks like a jumble of wires...and it is..... but your intelligent.... and have written little notes on Masking tape like (1)-(1) and (2)-(2) you get the idea....... when you cut through the middle of the tape you have 2 number 1's 2, 2's and so on.
so when you replace the wiring loom into the new car. you solder the 1 and 1 back together and 2 and whatever...... If your really switched on.... you'll realize that everything is separated by a individual connector or colour and the only things that really need labeling is the injector buckets.
If some dyslexic in a factory can install it, you can remove it.

There is far better alternatives to motorvation than a red motor... or a carbied v6
