I'm looking for the V6 Holden bell housing bolt pattern drawing showing dimensions.
I have been looking for some time but no luck yet.
Thanks in advance,

Bump. Bump.

Thanks immortality.
I am surprised this info doesn't exist on the web.
Do you have a mill with digital read out or are we talking ruler?
I have access to a Mill but don't have an engine block. An Engine block with the crank only would be light enough to set it up on the mill and be the best way to find the crank centre and take measurements from there. I fear i would not get a close enough centre on an input shaft on a gearbox as it will droop a bit.
Immortality, I figure you being in NZ it might be a bit hard to get a block to me in SE suburbs of Melbourne.
If immortality cannot measure it up can someone lone me a block in Melbourne?

yeah mate. just a ruler unfortunatly. there plenty of custom bellhousings around for most combinations. why not try someone like mallwood if oyur doing a conversion

I found some information on the Holden V6 but it needs to be confirmed.
Working from bottom left clockwise to bottom right bolt looking at the back of the motor referenced form the crank (x,y) (0,0)
Marks 4wd Adaptors Home Page has a lot of conversions.
The crank is the centre of the clock or (0,0) All measurements in mm.

2 -121.6, +117.8 (at the 10 O’clock position)
3 -65, +192.4 (at the 11 O’clock position)

Has anyone had a chance to confirm this info.
If you Google "bell housing v6" it is the first link on the web to be found. Go figure?

BTW I have access to a mill with digital read out now and can do something later in January if the offer of a block or gearbox is still available. Near Kilsyth?
