Is the HR factory manual? or factory 2 sp auto ? do you intend keeping bench seat?. Do you intend to use original firewall linkage carby set up? these are considerations too... one thing is 4 sure, the 173 is out. A1 Bogan. Edited by user Thursday, 1 November 2007 5:05:30 AM(UTC)

a little bit off topic, but, byron, if you were to transplant a V6 into an early commodore, which would you use? VN-VR or VS ecotec?
If it doesn’t burn fossil fuels, it’s not a sport.

Yeah Byron I thought about a v6 for my wifes HR. but it is still not that common over here. and were I live I would have had to import the kit from Aussie, I figured cheaper and less hassle to do the RB30 as I can do most of it myself.

just a note: VR didn't have ecotec. VN - VR was around 125kW. VS upped the grunt with 147kW. pre ecotec conversions are alot cheaper, just wondering is it worth getting the ecotec for and extra 22Kw?

I think 125kw for VN VP
147kw for VR and
152 for VS which burnt oil.
if you buy kits off Pat gardner they are $1365 for VN VP and $1665 for VR and later....because of the electrics.

Muskell, the Small block Chevy V8 is over 50 years old, and the basic design is still very very competitive..
I am not sure how i got involved in this one.
Memorez, if you are going to sell it, just chuck the 186 in and flog it
HR came out with 186.

Id put the 173 head on the 186, mild cam, decent headers and intake. You want reliable? My HJ with worked 179 is reliable as hell, the engine is now 11 years old, regular oil changes are the key! And NEVER thrash a cold engine!!!
