that appears to be a very good doner, the body looks quite good and rust free, although closer look would prove different,yes use all the running gear, and maybe in a few few years when you are earning the big bucks when you finish Uni, you can make that ute into something really nice as well....
HZ Jasmine Yellow Windowless Sandman, now being driven everywhere and is finished!
HZ Madeira Red Windowless sandman now Sold to Bigrob
HX Mandarin Red Sandman Ute finished, and club registered
1979 HZ malachite windowless van with 308 5spd, all chromed up and shiny finished and named "The Player"
Married to RodneyHZ253
ok so final question i hope.. will the fact that the car is on gas trouble me in any way for when i pull the 308 out?
Nope. Gas is good. 70c a litre. 202's work fine on gas. You might need a different mixer but gas parts are cheap as chips.
ok yeah i was just wondering if i had to change the mixer because the 202 might have a different ratio.. just gotta wait until tomoz night to talk to my parents about the car then we have a green light

You may get away with it but HJ engne doesn't have the right pollution equipment for a HZ.Originally Posted by NickyG
yeah i thought that was the case with the sump and that.. just sourced a hj with the stuff i need which will do for now :D $500 bucks for the whole ute im gonna see if i can part the parts from the shell.. reckon $500 bucks good for a 202 engine, radiator, alternator, starter and whatever else i need from the motor?
can score that ute for 500.. worth it? all id need is a tranny and the HZ pano would be a 202
pollution equiptment? what like a carby and catalytic or something? can you explain a bit more..
Also something agr071 brought upcan anyone tell me if i will have to change the tailshaft and gearbox support..NickG - Not sure but one to ask the guru's, will you need the tailshaft and gearbox support as well? Also gearbox linkages will be different as well, so i'm not sure if they'll have to be changed.

Tailshaft and crossmember will have to change as it is a TH400. Linkages will too. All unbolts. This is why you'll need a donor car for all this stuff.
Pollution equipment is all over the HZ engine. HJ have minimal (just a canister mainly).
ok so i can just use the uts tailshaft from what info i've found on the web as they are the same? or will it have problems connecting to the 10 bolt dif
so that means i have to set the pollution equiptment to the standard of the donor hj or the hz?

If it is a banjo car the tailshaft won't fit. You'll need one of the following tailshafts:
HQ V8 (except 350) wagon, ute, van or Statesman.
HJ-HZ V8 (except 308 auto) wagon, ute or van.
WB V8 ute or van or Statesman after about 11/81.
You could swap the banjo across but it'd just be easier to get a V8 tailshaft.
ok yeah im gonna find out if its got a banjo dif or a 10bolt.. if not ill look into finding a tailshaft for it
if not something like this yeah?

i think the HQ V8 onces are 1505mm?? 220 seems a bit expensive though
also the linkage i can just pick up from an autopro shop yeah?
