    Toyota HiLux: 1989: Can I replace the motor with Holden V6 motor?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 28 April 2010

    The Castlemaine Rod Shop in the Victorian town of Castlemaine used to make a kit that adapted the Holden V6 to the Toyota gearbox for just such a conversion, but have stopped supplying it because of the difficulty in covering all possible bases with the one kit.
