engine mounts for my Engine change

[stuthered90]

Hi everyone, i have an astravan at the moment, i have always wanted to have a fast van! i have been looking to put a bigger lump in my astravan and i have finally got myself a 2.5 v6 engine out of a vectra gsi. I was told to check the site out by a friend and was wondering if anyone could give me some advise on how i go about getting a custom made engine mount so that the v6 will go in the Mk 4 astravan. Anybody? cheers Stuart.

Hehe, someone on my wavelength. First off, Welcome Right the Astra V6 conversion isn't that hard to be honest but I wouldn't use the standard Astra or Vectra gearbox. either go the full-hog and get yourself the F28 6 spped box from a Chavalier or Calibra Turbo or get hold of a F20 5 speed from a Chavalier or Calibra Red Top.

Then all you need to do is buy the following kit that I researched for ya

And check out this next link of another astra with the X25XE engine so you can see how well it fits.

Yeah nice one mate! i found that very helpful! i have seen plenty of Mk 3 astra vans with the v6 in but i haven't seen many with the Mk 4 astravan. are they a lot harder to go in or not?
