Just the motor and engineering is a lot of work but if you are prepared to take the time (and spend the money - it aint cheap) go for it. You will need to take care of subframes, brakes, steering, wheels, diffs -- everything except the panels. I didnt appreciate the effort when I undertook a v6 conversion but I am getting close the licencing after quite a few years. I am not in the trade so it seemed to take twice as long as it needed to just to find people who could do what I needed. I used CRS, Pat Gardnier and a cast of smaller guys (Rods Racks - he is the best, cant recomend him enough) to get a lot of my stuff done. Cheers Mike |
