what type off red a 6 or an 8

if its a 6 a celica or supra box will do

for an 8 a supra 5 speed /toploader or anything else apart from m20 or even m21 (if your hard on the gear) maybe even try a ford single rail box

It depends what box you want. W55's are cheap as chips, good condition W57's can be had for around the $400 mark and W58's are $500-ish.

i didn't know wb utes came out with red 202's.
ive got an 81 wb and its a blue motor

I don't think they did come out with a red, unless it was a very early one.

In saying that, whats to say it hassn't been swapped in the past 29 years?

it doesnt matter if its a red blue black or even grey motor all holden 6's share the same bolt pattern on the block

nah they dont come out with reds only blues someone swoped it before me.
