Update and some pics... finally.
So over the weekend I pulled out the 6 from the Wagon, and the 8 from the Ute.
Before
After
And installed the V6 into the ute. What I didn't take into account was that I had to remove all the LPG gear from the V6 and put all the hoses back to stock. Took longer then I thought.
Now it's all back together but won't start for some reason. I'll sort it out later.
Oh, and I found this out while trying to hook up the V6 to the V8 tailshaft.
Slightly different lengths. V8 tailshaft is a little shorter. Anyone wanting to do this, make sure you use the V8 tailshaft for the V8 engine.
The 5L sitting in the corner waiting to be cleaned up.
I degreased the K-Frame, only spent 2 hours on it with Heavy duty degreaser mixed 1:1, seriously nearly 1cm of gunk all over it. Also cleaned in the rails a little.
Here it is all clean.
Then pulled out the Caprice Front suspension as it's in better condition, and I want the V8 Springs this time. And apparently it had new shocks installed 2 years ago, so should still be nice.
Rotors look good too.
That's where I am now.
Next is to install the V8 Suspension and K-frame into the wagon then clean up the bay, replace hoses, etc and make it all look nice.
Then find a gasket kit and replace all the V8s gaskets, get some new spark plugs, leads and replace anything else that looks dodgy after I give it a real good clean.
And I think I have decided to polish the rocker covers, and maybe intake manifold, and engine covers. I want this thing to look shiny as under the bonnet.
I like shiny things.
