Holden V6 Specifics

I think dropping the engine in would ba a major PITA. The computers would have to be the same basic system to work. If we can get some exact measurements of the SC on the motor we could see what it would take. Anyone have friends Down Under? Our firewall has been the problem for the GTP SC maybe the cv6 has the motor mounted more to the front allowing the intake to be in the rear which put us in the same place all over again.

Edit: BTW what is the formula for converting their power scale to our HP and TQ scale?

Conversion Formula for (KW) into (HP) and (NM) into (FT LB'S)
KW ÷ 0.746 = HP
NM ÷ 1.356 = FT LB'S

I gotta friend down under. I'll see what he knows or if he can get me anything.

Getting an aftermarket chrome-moly K-member will get you about 3/4-1" more header clearance, so that may fix the holden header question above. The heads, however, may or may not be compatable w/ out block.

BMR is currently in the process of fabricating a new K member for us V6ers too [img]smile.gif[/img]
