Thanks

But have already been down this path. Marks don't do adaptors for Series 2 & 3 Gearboxes. So my hunt still goes on :roll:

Already have three Holden 6s with Landy Adaptor plates,Engine mounts etc.

So at this Stage will put a 186 into it. I was given the 253V8 ,which has had a full rebuild [the guy was dumping it :roll:

] So hopefully a plate will turn up somewhere along the way
Thanks so far
