MQ engine conversion

Post by gqsafari »

Hi everyone, I am currently working on building myself an Mq patrol that is going to be pretty serious. I just need some help i have the choice between an rb 30 or a late model 3.8 holden engine, i would like to keep the standard 4 spd gearbox. What i would like to know is what engine is going to be the best suited to the car and the easiest to convert :?: :?: :?:

I detest GMH but I'd have to say the 3.8 Commonwhore will have more torque and will be the better choice of engine. :?
