sereis 1 commys are a shitbox due to oiling issues and are not suited to 4bys.

The problem with a v6 vit motor as I understand it is the bottom end of the motor is quite wide..

If I had a bigish budget and wanted a Hi-Po motor, I would look closer at some of the ricer donks (Joey's very neat SR20 conversion springs to mind) or a 4agze for something rather differnet a Mitsu 4g63t (Lancer Evo motor.. that would give a 3.8 commo V6 a few things to think about)
:twisted: :twisted: NOWS THERES AN IDEA :cool:

They have average oiling, and tend to crap bearings just in average road cars. Remember that the Buick v6 you are using was 20 years old already when Holden started using it in the VN. Does it rattle and make any noises now??

I think the problem is that the v6 is a east west engine when u mount them north south the cam eats out the bearings because of the different loads on it (braking and accelerating)

I wouldnt touch one with a 50 foot pole,

ive got a 4age in my drift car and i wouldnt even consider putting any other engine if I wanted more power,

i just put a g13bb into my zook and even that was a beautiful upgrade.

WAY too heavy for a zook. It makes the handling FAR worse. Bigger brakes are needed for the extra weight, not the extra power. they only have 125KW, so for the extra weight issues you get, there are better ways to achieve similar power and keep the wieght in the front end under control.

Still my sentiments. V6 commy is the best way to wreck a zook.

I have to say that for power, reliability, conversion process, and cost, the best bang for buck would have to be a 4AG-ZE. This will also help keep the delicate weight balance of the zook under control.

Although the 4AGZE is getting a little old, its still a better and younger option than the Buick lump that holden were to inept to replace some 15 years ago.
