why not a V8 which most have done, but do know a bloke who did one, after he blew up his 308, he loved it. but did it all himself.

V6? why?
if your going to change a motor in a trol why would you go from a straight 6 to a V6? :?
a straight motor is better than a V motor anyday of the week AND if its an old GQ then why wouldnt you go for a V8 or something worth your while?

They are heavier. But are more balanced and have more torque, due to the firing order and timing.

just that i was looking at getting the older gq that is carburettered and the v6 appeared to be a cheaper and more plentiful motor that is efi, though the au 4.0 litre is also cheaper than the vt, vr v6 froom where ive looked

so how much would a v8 conversion cost
