Remember how many 186 engines used to be out there ? Fast forward 20 years and now............bugger all.
Many were chained together and tossed overboard to make mooring points at the Outer Harbour Yacht Squadron etc.
Not just Holden 6's; it seems to be getting harder to find older V8's, in at least rebuildable nick, too.
There's a Landcruiser FJ45 trayback taking up space in my Garage ATM, that won't be going back on the road [chassis issues, that wouldn't pass a roadworthy to the current standard]. I'm thinking I should pull the engine/trans out, and get rid of the rest to a local specialist Cruiser wrecker.
That vehicle was my 'young bloke's folly' back in the 80's.
The engine is a 350 Chev with '4-bolt main' heavy duty block, Carter AFB carby plus some other minor HD 'fruit' , and it's mated to a 'kitted' Turbo-Hydramatic 400 auto box, adapted to the original transfer case.
Somehow I don't think that donk is losing value!
