Starfire-4 VC now... a 202!:)

[My_Little_VC]

My Starfire-4 Manual VC Royal Commodore has now been fully converted
to a 6 cyl 202 Auto

The Diff, front strut towers, K-Frame, engine, gearbox, tailshaft, extractors and exhaust have all been replaced and the new engine only has done 85,000KM
We even got rid of the old engine fan and hooked up a thermo fan.
*NEW PICS ADDED!*
Now for some pics, only got some of taking the engine out at the moment... more later

yep, had a VK that sat for about 2 years, poored a little fuel into the carby float chamber, charged battery and she started straight away. the old 6 cyls are fairly tough.

nice work on the transplant:thumbsup:
