I don't know putting a bloody V8 in even before youv'e driven the V6. You'll never get that car finnished mate!! I don't know who would want to put a bigger engine in their car anyhow

See you Monday mate, can't wait to hear the beast.

£15k for a 5l engine with 330ps - dare I say but whats the point?

PW@Woodsport · Post by **PW@Woodsport** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 4:59 pm

well i'll be fitting the v6 (3vz-fe) into a mk2 which will then be up for sale,so if anyone fancies owning a mk2 V6 let me know.

Im fitting the v8 because its a challenge,it has enough torque to relocate a small house and well...cos its a v8!

I dont care about the numbers or power figures to be honest,we all know the 3s canbe tuned to 700bhp and ive installed plenty of them into mk1's,its more about the challenge involved in making it work and matching suspension and brakes to suit.

A certain amount of madness is required to attempt such a swap but its all good fun really....the lex gets stripped out next week,then the fun begins.

Well i think you've proved conclusively that you have plenty of it.

I only meant that the £15k conversion on that website wasnt worth it.
V8 sounds good - that alone makes it worth trying to fit!
