Next winter the wife and I are taking 3 months of our LSL and are heading off to see the sights and are going to purchase a panelvan. Either Ford or Holden but we do love the XC since I had one many a year ago. Just recently we went to trade in our VX Commodore in on a Suzuki Vitara and all they'd give use was $1,000 so we bought the Suzuki and am going to use the Commodore as a donor vehicle for the panel van. Now I'm wondering has anyone used the V6 Commodore engine and auto and used it in the XB or XC Fords. I'm sure there enough room but it'll depend on whether the oil pan with miss the subframe and whether the transmission will fitt without to much cutting. Now before you go jumping up and down and abusing me, to me Fords and Holdens are the same and both a great Australian made vehicles.

It will still cost you many thousands in custom stuff, wiring, exhaust, radiator, tailshaft, fuel lines, engineering certificate, etc etc.

It would cost less to fit a Ford injected 6 or 8, considering that many items will not need to be custom made as compared to the Holden. You will still need custom wiring and an engineers report.

Thanks guys and its been decided we'll go with a HZ Holden because of the products available to make the swap really easy.
See you on the highway.
