gen3 into MK patrol - can it be done

Post by 84mksd33t »

i can get the gen3 very cheap...
can this be transplanted into the old MK/MQ?

What sort of things will I need to look out for?

Best to run the 4spd auto holden box or retain the 5 spd?

or am i just an idiot? :)

With alomst 30yrs difference in the motors I'd be guessing that they've changed the bell housing bolt patteren on the motorside.

350's are Legal and as I said there are heaps of them around. Maybe Just GQ Brakes?

Use the auto and Nissan t-case till it blows up then get the Adaptor to the GQ case. HEAPS Stronger!

The bolt patterns of 350/ls1 are almost exactly the same. From memory, there is a change of 1 or 2 bolt holes.... this is on the manual 6 speed they come with, but I believe the patterns of 6 sp and auto are the same. :cool:
