VK comm 6-8 conversion. - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

REV308 · 02-06-2008, 04:24 AM

Im thinking about ripping the 6 out of my vk commodore and dropping a 308 into it, what do i need to change first up, is k frame different or just engine mounts ?
Im thinkin 308, turbo 350, vl turbo 3.45 lsd, its just an everyday car.

You can buy the parts for this conversion from McDonalds?
other than the diff which any decent engineering shop can accomplish and most would say, why bother, unless its all about rear disks....?

Yea engine mounts. A bit of wiring in the engine bay and a drive shaft cut shut.

you wil need to change the front shocks/springs to v8 items.

should change master cylinder /booster.

bit of wiring.

6 pot tailshaft and diff wont last too long from the 8.

pretty easy swap, if you dont **** around like i have lol
