    Default Uncommon Commodore motor installations

    Just wondering what are some of the interesting/different/odd/weird places people may have seen a V6 motor installed (forget Hilux installations).

    My three:
    1. Gemini zz/z fully certified and lic with a series I VN 3.8 and extractors.
    Saw it for sale for $4500 about a year ago so called the owner out of interest.
    He said it was a real sleeper as it looked standard and claimed it ran low 13s.

    2. Suzuki Sierra with no bonnet or front guards (unlic) that spent more time on it's side than on it's wheels but with the original diff it had truly necksnapping punch off the mark.

    3. Subaru Wagon 1982 model Lic but as a 4cyl (illegal mod). The owner claimed it was super quick but as these cars weigh about the same as a VR sedan I think it would only be super quick compared to other Subarus.

    Are there any others?
