Reply With QuoteAny red blue or black holden six will drop in, being the vintage that holden six's are at now i would possibly look at a 202 black motor around VK Commonwhore vintage, may possibly find a good runner if you are lucky.
So i recently purchased a 1979 LWB Rover that had a shot 186 in it. So pulled it out and pulled the clutch off there was a broken "brass" (i think) spacer in there with mod plate. Is this a Thrust Washer?
Is the 186 and 202 mod plate for the gear box the same? and how about the engine mounts?
And what would some people recommend? I'm not really after power as such just want to make a good camper to go on the beach.
I'm pretty new car motors. I've rebuilt plenty of bikes before 2 and 4 stroke and would say i'm mechanically minded, but i'm self taught... youtube and helpful folks like yourselfs haha
Anyway any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

SubscriberAs mentioned red, blue and black will work. If you use a black motor unless you want to go with the very average fuel injection setup it came with, just use the engine itself and bolt carbys on. The dizzy on the black motor will be useless to you as it only distributes the spark and does nothing else. The timing was done by a crank angle sensor. The blue motor dizzy is an electronic dizzy and is what you should be looking for - it will bolt straight into a red or black motor.
Heads are different between the red and the blue/black engines so if you use a black, and want to run carbs, then you will need a manifold off a blue.
Apart from that you can mix and match them. All are getting very old now but you may be able to find a good blue or black runner that needs little work.
Failing that, have a crack at rebuilding one as they are simple to work on and a great engine to cut your teeth on.

Hi there

Always wanted to have a drive of one (in a Holden of course) just to see how they go. But if I ever build a Holden again (hr), it'll have a turboed 265 hemiEasy on, do you want him to get out of the driveway with axles intact

Slant 6 Valiant or early Ford 6
Not a fan of Holdens in Land Rovers not a good thing IMHO

SubscriberSlant 6 is a fragile engine when asked to work hard, the Ford would be ok. If the Holden engine is so bad in these then why did the vast majority of conversions use them?
