Question...

Will a KV6 engine fit to a metro gear box, therefore allowing fittment of the engine in one of the watsons K-Series conversion frames or is it impossible to fit a KV6 to a metro box?

wow you reply quick!

I dunno what box the ZS uses but i'm just thinking if it would fit in the watsons frame? I guess the engine mounts would probably be wrong but if it fits the metro box then the it would be alot easier

Dont think getting a gearbox to fit would be the major problem with this. I would guess that it uses a PG1 gearbox the same as the 1.8, VVC etc. Certainly I would not want to put the torque of a V6 through the Metro type (R65 ??) box.

I think your main problem would be its size. There would be a lot of work required to get it all in.

In the back though that would be relatively easy..... bit old hat these days though :wink:
