 : Okay so i have a spare 351 just sitting in my shed and i have an ef for daily driver, i also have an Xd 351 toploader, hilux with bommodore v6 and now i have sold my excel for a sum of cash and a VS commo wagon which runs good just needs a clean.Well now we have had a big idea, which is to show all those holden fans out there how a commodore should have been built since day dot. Heck the guys have been using our boxes and diffs for long enough and now we are just contemplating having some fun with this wagon. Yes i know its a waste of a motor and box but it will still be useable once the wagon, oh i dont know hits the wall in the snake pit!LOL! The idea is to get it ready just to cruise around in at motorvation next year and spin people out when they hear this beasty vs which once we pop the bonnet is 'Power By Ford'. Im ready for any comments good or bad you guys have but just think about the look on their faces!  |

I with you on this, that is gonna be something different and you'll be the talk of the Holden boys. Can't agree with ya more as the been using our boxes and diff for years, it time to have the power to go with it! As Hot Rod boys been disrespecting the Ford by powering it from GM. Time for a change and i'll be looking forward to this at motorvation!

Mate this is a brilliant idea, and be sure to have a few nice Powered by FORD stickers on the rear and side rear windows.

go for it its just a vs it's not like its something rear.
XR2DOOR as a fan of the EH you mentioning a 302 in it makes me fell sick but i even hate it when they drop a Holden V8 in them they were ment to be a 6 and they should stay that way. |

Great idea! LOL!
No outward hints that the engine's a Ford though. Just the powered by Ford under the bonnet or something similar! Hehehe! I love it! LOL! GK

Have seen a friends VH commo with a 351 in it. Went like stink, sounded great, ran 11s over the 400m. Good combo, but hard to fit in properly

Engine plates are the way im gonna go putting the engine in i think. And the gearbox is gonna be the easier part i would say, but i cant wait just thinking about it makes me laugh! Oh and yeah the plan i had would be for them to pop the bonnet and see nice shiny r/covers that say 'power by ford'. LOL
