Long time no post, I think someone warned me this would take a long time, and cost no small amount of money...but we’ve stuck to it!
One of last main tasks is to convert or replace the fuel tank to suit the EFI VT V6. Does anyone know if a fairly straightforward swap exists to a suitable EFI tank?
Main Completed tasks
VT V6 and 4le60 installed, wired and running
4 wheel disks, commodore stud patten
BW Diff centre conversion
Power steering
Other main tasks to solve and complete (will make some separate posts shortly)
fuel tank
Auto shifter setup
Electronic speedo conversion
One more Beddy back on NZ roads this summer!
Cheers
Sam

Cheers Busy & Sammy - As a still armchair mechanic I admire what you can do, great to know what is possible. Choosing wheels wasn't something I was really thinking about - talk about options. Planned to keep my turbo's but they won't fit the brakes.
Might just go the 5x120 commodore way as I do have 5x good wheels and tyres.

Cheers - I'll take that as a solid recommendation.
Murray said I could use my VT calipers and yes would need to go to 15" or greater. Is it possible to go to the commodore PCD instead of HQ (could then use my VT wheels as a start) or will there be offset issue with the more modern rims?
Assuming that going up to 15" it is best to move away from the bedford PCD, in terms of easy available options?

Time for an update - things are about to happen.
Front end bushes and such have been replaced.
VT commodore olympic donor car about to be stripped out. Have a cresta diff on its way - hoping this is still a good option but if not then well I guess its there for someone else.
Have trawled through many of the v6 conversion posts again - quite a few people saying they would do a bit of a recap on the experience but not sure if any one has done that - no pressure sorry...! I see vintageholden just asking the same question
pro's and con's on the aussie v6 conversion kit?
For the kiwis here I have spoken to Murray Mcquoid in AK - are his front disks and power steering kits a good way to go?
Anyone want any VT commodore parts just ask too.
Cheers
Sam

Hey Downhill,
I've been out of the loop for a while and didn't see your reply - you find your parts? I've got a standard motor (been told it needs reconditioning) and box up here still.
Cheers

Hi,
Slower than slow progress on my van lately.
Can anyone answer if doors from a '72 lwb will fit my '77 lwb, front and rear barn doors?
Cheers
Sam

Thanks to all for the advice thus far. Agreed Busy, that disks would be better, and that there are some terrible drivers on our roads.
Getting the van out of the panel shop today and off the mechanic's, so progressing along ok. Moment of truth approaching on the engine swap tho.
Enjoy ANZAC weekend all.
Cheers
Sam
