Nice mate, love it.
Would love to put the v6 in our sigma, would go off tap i bet, and with lsd, very nice.
You need matching rims though, the rears look mint!!
Hey Hey,
This is my heap, Thy chariot.
Getting new head gaskets.
8 inch pajero diff vs Corona borg warner.
V6 goodness.
Vp 3.8.
T700 auto.
8 inch pajero diff with clutch LSD. ( broke 3 Corona diffs before hand )
Runs a mix of VN and VP maps, Tuned by Tesla/Darren.
VP radiator.
VS thermo fan.
K&N panel filter soon to be replaced.
Custom 3 inch tail shaft with loop.
Custom tranny and engine mounts.
After market oil cooler for the tranny.
14x5 Corona stock rims up front.
15x8 performance challengers on the rear with 185/65/15's, Tires are way to thin for the rims, Will go a decent tire when i flair the guards to fit them.
320mm rotors on the rear.
Custom springs all round.
and yeah thats the gist of it, Alot of little things have been replaced but its way to much to list and remember.
Hasn't hit the track yet so i don't have 1/4 mile time as of yet.

How much do you think you've poured into custom work sofar to get the engine and trans sitting nicely + mating up to the diff?
I admire the ambition to step out and do something like thatGo team!

I bought it with engine and box in it. The wiring was half arsed and only had a corona diff. Since then Tesla has redone alot of the wiring and I've been replacing alot of things the previous owner left stock.
I'm not running the speed sensor which made the check engine come on 90% of the time so Tesla masked the light in the ecu and loaded a VN ignition map and changed some other things, What ever he did improved the low down response dramatically.
Anyway, The engine mounts on the V6 are further forward to the Original 22R-E engine, A bit of work for the engine mounts. Gear box mount is very close to the original W55 mount so not much work has gone into that one.
Tail shaft is a custom item from Driveline services in Archerfield, 3 inch shaft with new uni's etc, Cost me $270 about a month ago.
To get the mounts remade would cost about $200 with a mate doing it, He also is making me a twin throttle body manifold that fits under the bonnet. That will be going on soon when it has been cleaned up.
Might make some more and sell them off cheap if there's any interest ?
Kangaroo damage.
Thats how i got it, Nice and clean.
This is my old one i got ages ago, Wanted to stick a 308 or 351 in it but it never eventuated, Swapped it for a 69 ke10.

Front rims will come when i have flared the rear guards so i can fit a decent tire on the rim, 185's on a 8 inch is a bit stretched for my liking.
