Draizuh Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 A12 as in a datsun motor? If you wanna keep it nissan again you can go for the VG30DE out of a Terrano or a 300ZX thats a 3 litre V6 or if you want it for then there is a 2.6 v6 which came in capris and cortinas. the grenada. there is probably a shit load of american ford v6's too.

4D105e Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 yeah but no wanna keep it all ford this time it was the datty engine thought there was only the 2.3, 2.8 and 3.0 v6 in the ford range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 yea i dont think there was any 2.6's but a 2.3v6 from a cortina wouldnt be too hard to find but all 70-80 ford v6's arent very tuneable and performance parts are hard to find unless you find a cosworth 2.8 v6 but very doubtful in nz. also, v6's are pretty heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushrod Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 RS2600 ran a 2.6 V6 which was the only capri in europe to do so I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
