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

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.

not sure how much this would help you but found this on ebay. looks like alot of the hard work is already done.

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.
