I took a look at the link. It seems like a complicated operation and also not really cheap. Same with a Lexus V8. At this point, wouldn't it be better to just buy a HSV? It seems to me you would spend basically as much and the Chevy V8s are also infinitely tunable if you are not happy with the stock 400bhp.

I never said it was easy...just another option for a six cylinder conversion but probably a lot less of a headache than a V8  ;)

Sure. And thanks for pointing the thread out to me. It was still a good read.  :y

A V8 is definitely more work and money than it is worth. Just buy a HSV R8 or GTS of same vintage and be done with it. :)

A 6 cylinder is way more viable, yes. But that particular Supra engine seems quite complex to do. A Carlton straight 6 would probably be easier I would think. But not nearly as much tuning flexibility.

Well...

On a separate note, what was it that let go on your Saab? Fatal or simply irritating?

Having finally had time to get this on the ramps today I can confirm that there is a 6" diameter "ventilation aperture" smashed in the middle of the sump.  So yeah. Completely and utterly fnarked.    :P

On the plus side the touchscreen satnav/radio has decided it now wants to work.  ::)

Sweet so now you can set the satnav to direct you to places you can't actually drive to ;D
