if your going to do a conversion like that go for a "holden" 3.8L V6, they fit without too much dramas. Getting a manual is a bit hard though

yeh fair enough, they have more power to don't they? damn then i can't put a nismO sticker on it :-(

better check the club rules though so your not put into a class that makes you at the back of the pack every time. If that means just a normal 4age ocnversion then so be it

yeh, i dnt want this car to be competetive in class, i want it to be fast and fun, i got the hq for that. how much stuffing around will it be

[Sam_Q]

sorry no idea, if your a member of toymods there is a club racer that they are putting the same engine into an old celica. You can ask them about it.

It will be a lot of stuffing around, I'd say at a punt mounts, xmember, tunnel chop, bigger diff, custom tailshaft, etc etc etc.

Do a little searching on the site and youll find all the information you ever need on the conversion. Ive done one myself and have thread on it.
