you'll have to make up your own. when you've positioned it in place, then see where to mount, not an off the shelf conversion like the XE is now.

ok cheers mate

I read in Total Vauxhall that a company -maybe Courtney, can't remember- tried it and the car handled like a pig and they vowed never to do it again.
But hey, what the heck. Anything to be different :twisted:

let me imagine how that guide would go

"take V6 and car to..... whoever paid us the most to advertise"

i kno it would make the handling shite but its a show car i wouldnt b able to afford the insurance to drive it anyway

[Ben]

I think Fenix done it speak to him.

[mark_GSi]

wots the point it doing that?

a show car fair enough but most people still use the car but u will just trailer it everywhere?

:o :o :o :roll:

[burgo]

the point in that mark is that im 18 and insurance companies will just laugh at me wen i tell em wot ive done

[Philsutton]

i cant wait to get insured on my V8 nova :D then again by the time its completed i'll be about 25 anyway.

Why do it now? Why not get yourself a more useable car/engine for a few years, then do the V6 conversion at a later date?

Personnaly I think the V6 is one of the worst conversions that you can do for a Nova as it's far too heavy for the car, but each to thier own.

[m.d.]

the only time the v6 would be good is if it was in the back of the nova. RWD that would be fun

[burgo]

jim as i sed it dont matter how heavy it is cos its a show car and ive already got a car for the road this is my project car
