Hi again, Iv'e just been playing in the shed and noticed the 253 I have does not have any engine mounts or block brackets. Can any one inform me which block brackets to buy and which mounts. There are so many combinations out there from HT right the way through to VK, but there has to be a standard combination which will fit a Beddie.. Russ

Thats right Jason, the 253 is as good on fuel as the 202 but with that bit extra omph!. At the moment there is gas fitted to the old six so when the time comes I will probably do the dual fuel thing. The research Iv'e done suggests not to change the cam too much as it makes the engine flat spot a bit and won't like the change in fuel either. I put sequencial (spelling?) gas injection on my NL Pajero Fuel injected V6 and it is awesome. I lost no power at all but gained a lot more $ in my pocket at the end of each week.
I'm off to my local wreckers tomorrow to try to find a different style of tail light for the van. I don't really have any idea what I'm looking for yet but I suppose I'll know when I find them. Those cordless grinders are just the thing for wrecking yard excursions.
Catch ya all later. Russ

Hi team, thanks for the info. I live in lovely Wagga. Would love to catch up some time.
I read some where yesterday I should use a sump from a LH torana, if I can find one, otherwise my HQ one will get the old chop chop.
There is a dude in Canberra who will do engine swap engineering quite cheaply if the engine mount stubs on the cross member don't have to be modified. One of the guys in my club Wagga rod and Custom thinks around $600 should see it done. It cost me $1500 to get my hot rod engineered locally so $600 is not so bad.
I already have the 253 and trimatic which is also my engine/ trans choice for economy reasons, as it will give me added torque over the 202 for towing a caravan and the V8 noise is a BIG bonus.
Thanks heaps for taking the time to take the photo's for me and for the advice.
I will take a photographic history during the restoration of the van and will post the progress as I go. Iv'e got to say that once I started to strip back the old layers of paint (and bog) I was very dissapointed with the amount of rust found particularly around the roof and behind the rear wheels. It's off to the local sandblaster next weekend to find anything I have missed.
However, if I plug away I hope to have it on the road within 12 months or so. ($ permitting)

Sad news, condolences to you and your family. I too lost the old girl a couple of months ago.

Thanks guys, I was thinking it might be easier to come for a drive and look for myself but then I noticed how far away you are. I guess the main thing is the engine mounts. In some of the posts here Iv'e seen SBC swaps and the hugely modified mounting system. Is this required for a Holden V8 as I thought the humble red motor and early holden v8s were mounted the same? Could be wrong, but thats the most important thing to start with and the amount of trimming i need to do around the floor. A few good clear photos should help.
The rear end is a HQ Kingswood banjo and the frot seems to be HQ too. Perhaps just a set of 10 rims on the rear may have to do.
