There are a few places that sell kits for V6 conversions into Toranas including Castlemaine Rod Shop (CRS) or another mob in Moree called Gardners. If you want another carby engine a 253/308 will bolt straight in but will need engineering as UCs didnt hav |

Any TH700 (not 4L60-E) will work behind a carburettored engine. All you need is something to switch the lock-up converter if you wish to make use of it. You can buy an aftermarket controller or make one yourself. You just need a tacho operated |
