1981 L200 'ClubSport'

[tortron]

Ecotec V6 is the next gen of the Buick V6 (not the inline modern one)

Plenty of old Holden's around, I got the engine and box for $500. The gearbox is the 4l60e which is the next get of the 700r4
This means it all pretty much bolts in to what I have now

Modern utes are too big to be any use for me. Can't park it in the city, barely fit in my gate or garage, deck is too high and too small for a sheet of ply etc. Terrible.
I mostly ride my motorcycle around because it's so cheap, I would like a new Morris J type electric van, I hope they come to NZ

Cute the Morris J but pricey, could camp & sleep in it though, very cool... I read wikipedia that Holden will stop making vehicles in 2021 & they made a small truck in 1980 Holden Rodeo renamed in 2008 Colorado --- newer Colorado right hand drive trucks are made in Thailand... and, they are like the USA Chevy Colorado truck which receives bad reviews because of it's akward uncomfortable driver's seating position...

That Buick V6 with 4L60e should scoot your truck quickly enough For best performance, try to get the ECM computer with the latest updated version (identify it & price it at a OEM car dealer parts department) OR you are probably a tuner yourself..???

That truck is gonna keep you busy & happy
