Re: holden V6 => sa63 - opinions	Tue, 15 April 2003 22:58

Wow, this thread sure took off in a hurry! I'd like to point out that when it comes to engine conversions, the base cost of the engine/transmission is the smaller part of the equation... MOST of the cost is labour! Sure you can get rattly 2nd-hand V6's for next to nothing, but think of the fabrication work involved trying to get it mounted, making a custom tailshaft, possibly bashing out the transmission tunnel, splicing the Holden wiring into a Toyota loom, and the dozens of other little things you'd have to take care of. Meanwhile, the 1G into Celica swap has been done many times, it's very well documented, and it's been proven to be relatively easy as engine swaps go. You don't need to modify the transmission tunnel, in fact the transmission bolts up to the factory mounting points and you can use the original tailshaft! The wiring is an easier job too (eg Toyota tend to use the same colour coding across models). A Toyota engine into a Toyota car is always going to be easier than a completely different make of engine into a Toyota car. [Report message to a moderator]
