Vr6 In A Fisher Fury

[Snapperpaul]

My neighbour has a VR6 lump on his drive, now I had one in a Ford Galaxy and it was impressive

It's only a 12 valve and I'm no idea if it will fit or what gearbox to consider but as I'm in thinking mode it's worth a think

With a bit of thought, a bit of imagination and a lot of determination anything is possible... go for it, would be a cracking engine

Awesome engine, and they like a bit of boost ;-)

Would it not be better to fit in the BOA/BOB Cosworth v6 as its RWD anyway.?

I've got a cossie boa sat in garage with gearbox

good strong engine... unless someone put box bolts in wrong.. then they crack water jacket.

2.8 175 ish bh. 2.9 corrado 190 bhp .

 

my mates is turbod at 430 bhp using a spacer to lower compression need chains doing around 100k.

 

but will run forever if looked after

Mmm interesting, it may be challenge to far and I did have a VR6 Galaxy that stifled to get 12mpg round town.

I did have a look at the R32 engine but my god they are expensive

[Snapperpaul]

Pondering about the gearbox...

I think the VR6 was only fitted in a transverse configuration and probably did not have a separate bellhousing.

I was thinking of using a type 9 V6 box and adapting the VR6 bellhousing to fit the type 9 tat way I would only need to re-drill the gearbox to bellhousing bolt pattern or make an adaptor plate

[maccavvy]

Sounds like you planned it already..

[Snapperpaul]

I do a lot of in Head planning and not enough in garage doing

I need to get the Robin Hood running well enough to get to this summers events then start on the Fury.

The Robin Hood will have the old carbs put back on, the ignition refurbished with all new parts and then taken to a local rolling road, I will then not touch it in any inappropriate way until the Fury is up and running.
