Thread Revival alert!
The old FX has been sitting for a while waiting wiring and in the meantime I've had second thoughts. The 186 & trimatic are fitted ready to go and the ute is far from original so I'm not worried about that, but I've scored a VS Column shift auto ute (not picked up yet) I'm guessing it'll have an 3.8l Ecotech in it. apparently it drives & runs & stops.
I like the idea of a V6 (maybe supercharged) and a column shift.
what's everyone's thoughts on the quality of the column shift mechanism if I use the VS steering column and the motor & box out of these things? are they reliable, economical?
I've had nothing much to do with these little V6's
