    HX motor into VS commodore?????

    I've got a semi rebuilt HX 308 motor with EFI cam, sitting in my shed going to waste.
    I've also got a VS V6 that sits next to it every night. Soooooo
    I'm wondering if it's possible for them to be friends and put it into the VS at all?

    But the block itself doesn't have anything different then the VS V8 block.
    Heads & Manifold etc will but not the block itself.

    got a different engine number tho, the problem will be putting the older engine into a newer car, you might get away with, it if your lucky, i think the rule is the engines got to be the same(there'd probally be certain amount of flex, i doubt its 30yrs tho) or newer than what its going into, feel free to correct me, only what ive read, go see the rta or who ever does your roadys theyll say yay or nay

    You need engine, box, tailshaft, harness, ECU, radiator, throttle cable etc. HX block is basically the same as VS block and all the EFI stuff will bolt on.

    I realise all that, but not sure about the rules seeing that it's earlier then the car.
