G'day guys, i'm about to embark on a V8 conversion in my LX sedan and as i have a heap of Red 6 cylinder stuff from various projects over the years is there any parts that are usuable on a 253/308????
Anything like simple stuff as pulleys,bolts, water pump - engine fan spacers,mounts,brackets etc????
Feel free to compile a list of things as i dont want to get rid of all my 6cyl stuff only to have to buy something for a V8 conversion.
Please share your knowledge!!!!
Cheers Pete

maybe 1/2 inch... I had to trim them a little as the front 2 bolts will bind in the bottom of a hole...I think the rest just go thru to the water jackets.
