    V6 Will be the best most horsepower for the cheapest and easiest fitting, unless anyone has a better suggestion ?

    I think its all straight forward to fit, get mounts and stuff from david dixon, change shafts, put a couple strengthening plates in, jobs a good un.

    The next best bet is the good ol' C20XE ?

    Oh yeah i forgot about the exhausts

    Maybe dixon has made something you can just buy off him and fit straight away.

    I think for a decent worthwhile engine swap your just gonna have to be really fast and have a couple handy mates helping you with it if its going to be done and running for your next day at work
