rke_011 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) We have done it, ecotec v6 into a ke70, the conversion isnt that hard to do if you have a bit of mechanical knowledge. The sump fits between the x-member and swaybar. custom mounts and gearbox crossmember need to be made, as do custom extractors and tail shaft. easy peazy... were also building a v8 one aswell :) Edited September 30, 2010 by rke_011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KE20 V6 Turbo Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 i also just put a old 3.8 out of a vr into my ke70 allot of custom work and the wirings a night mare make sure if ur using a motor from vr onwards u have the bcm or the car wont start or get the security removed from the memcal like i did in mine. Have you managed to register one? Engineered? I'm in the process of doing a KE20 and was thinking to rego it if its possible. Ive already gone 10.30@135 in a VP Commodore and have a more grunty motor in mind for the KE20. Though it will be N/A for the engineers...

SLW42 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 read the previous posts guys it states YOU NEED CUSTOM ENGINE MOUNTS, so in other words get an engine crane, drop the motor and box into it where you are happy with it and then grab a welder and start making some mounts :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
