What is a V6 Catera??? Any pic's? sounds like a European only model.

 

Cadillac based on the Opel/Vauxhall Omega, which also the Holden VR/VS/VT is based on.

Which V6 engine the Ectoec????

 

Hell yeah, they need a V8, any pic's or measurments of your sub frame?????

 

The Catera uses a 3.0 quad cam 24valve engine that is also used in SAAB vehicles.

 

Ok we have the same engine it call an Alloytech its 3.6 litres in Australia.

 

here is a link from another thread with pictures of the subframe i am looking for. any one know about a subframe like this or have one or can make some measuring of the mounting plates on a subframe like this.

Unless I'm misundersanting the other thread.....that subframe never went into production. Somehow that guy got his hands on, or at least photos of, a pre-production subframe for a v8 car that never happened.

I don't think you'll find one for sale.

 

ii has been produced about 20 complete kit for building an catera v8 gm sold the parts to lingenfelter and lingenfelter sold it on ebay. i have a kit that is missing that subframe . but as you say it has never been produced as a gm car but some people that has buyed a kit has build one.

i hope to get in touch with someone that have a subframe to make som measuring so i can make a subframe like the orginale.

 

any one with more info ???

 

I don't know of who might still have one but keep in mind you don't have to have it. We did our original V8 Catera conversion before we were able to get those parts from GM so the V8 Catera conversion we did used the stock front subframe with fabricated mounts.

 

thanks. i hoped to find one orginal subframe, it looks like like i have to make the mounts my self
