Thread: 302W EFI into Classic Rangie

Peachy got rid of it a while ago and bought a patrol

I helped him with the Ford EECIV wiring via another forum and from memory he said the rangie went pretty good. I can't remember why he sold it though.

I put a V6 commodore motor in a hilux once. Was so dissapointed with it.
Sold it just after I finished it
Know how he feels

Geeeezzz... Been a long time since I was on here....

Anyway the donk was a great conversion, and would do it again if I had the chance. Had double the power of the old 3.5 ( which isn't too hard I know) and used slightly less fuel.
Only had it out 3 times off road, awesome !!

I sold it about 6 months after, Thought I'd put it up for sale for what I thought was a good dollar just to see what would happen as I wanted to get rid of the 2 cars (dedicated 4wheeler and general driver) for 1 that would do both, and free up some garage space for a project I have. The old girl sold the next day..... Should have had more on it !
Another reason I thought I would let it go is the extra power it had, It needed some money spent on diffs and axels upgrades to keep up with the engine

All in all, a great conversion, alot of work, but worth it ! Not a daily driver for me though as I travel over 500klms a week to work and back.


Billy Bob, no wonder you were disapointed.... It's a holden motor.. lol

Banacus, thanks again for your help mate !

Found some more photos of the old girl !!
This is when I got it





Painting in progress







Nothing a 3" spring, 2" body lift, some fibreglass flares, a coat of Vermillion Fire, some bar work, a set of 33" mudders, and a nice donk can't fix

After reading a thread about your hardtop a few months ago, I don't blame you wanting to make room in your shed. Looks grouse peachey

Supoib Peachey!

Hey Peachey,

I notice your radiator support was removed/removable. Is that a standard thing?...mine is spot welded but it appears that it has holes which could be bolted through. Sure would help the conversion process if it unbolted.

Yeah mate, it was all bolted together. Good thing I like about the old Rangies, they're almost like a big mechano set
