burnout ute v6 into courier

[H1GHROLLR]

hey people i have a 89 ford courier ute and a vn v6 laying around and im

thinking a might chuck the v6 in it for a skid car,does anyone have any info

on this conversion it does not have to be legal or anything its purely for

fun any info would be great i have done conversions before but just thinking

if this is an easy conversion or not i hope so,should go pretty hard i think . . .

dunno about courier but i saw a hilux tray back with an l67 in it so it should be possible. I suppose custom engine mount is going to be the main issue good luck will make a mean burnout car

[H1GHROLLR]

yeah engine mounts and g/box mounts wont be a prob im a boilermaker welder by trade dunno if i will have to make a sump etc is it hard to wire in the ecu i wont be trying to wire it in to the old harness i will just use switches

[Pub247]

boilermaker like me then huh well your set then. Yeah sump might be an issue depends only where crossmember is how far forward or back you have to mount it.
Wiring i dont think is too hard theres the engien loom with only really two plugs to wire up most are power and ignition with a few diagrams, a few hours and half a brain you should be able to get it running

There's a couple V6 powered van's around here. You get quite the shock seeing some old van rock up at the drags and mixing it with the V6 boys and enter the burnout comps

hey foamy yeah i reackon it will be a blast do you reackon i would be better off doing this courier or taking all the weight out of a vn/vp putting some wild gears in it i think i have got some 4.11 in the shed and a tune ????? i dunno

[H1GHROLLR]

anyone else got info

[maginoodle]

mate, look at my project thread(in my sig) delcowizard was very helpful with the wireing. it isnt hard to do.

cheers shane

[H1GHROLLR]

is a vn motor the same as a vr like i mean if i put a vn motor in a vr will it run

[maginoodle]

pretty much the same, i dont know everything that got changed but the wireing is basically the same. also things like the thermostat etc were moved.

[H1GHROLLR]

so it would run alrite

[Pub247]

it would run theres a few differences between vn-vr especiallly series 1 vn's but its nothing to hard to fix

[H1GHROLLR]

sweet mate what would have to be changed mate

[Pub247]

Well if its a series one youd need the cooling system setp off a series 1. As the run a pressurised overflow and a radiator with no cap. the thermostat and cooling sensor is at the back of the motor, so some wires may need rerouting.
Series 2 motor with thermostat at the front is going to be a lot easier

Main problem it vr run a cam sensor on the timing cover so you either need to swap engine looms(require some rewiring and retune for bcm) or swap timing cover to vr one or drill the hole in your timing cover for the sensor

[delcowizzid]

if it was a vr manual easy as if auto it runs a different ecu and needs the vn loom and ecu fitted.and the vn auto trans.

im thinking im not going to build the v6 courier now just going to strip down a vp take all the weight out,4.11 gears with a spool,take off the back brakes get a tune off delcowizard and run some NOS through it its only a skid car
