I'll have a chat to you at the meet on the weekend brad...
Are you looking for a 185,200 or 220kw..? Did you need everything with it...? Are you looking at a conversion for your car..? If so, keep in mind you'll need a gear box too, different fuel lines, v8 engine mounts, different power steering lines, different computer and engine loom and a few little bits and pieces... Just thought I'd throw that all out there as I'm not quite sure what you want..! Cheers Kris

lol sorry ddint really specify i was tired,
not to fussed on engine size (ie 220 200 etc), yeah i know its a fair bit of work for a conversion but i want the sound and power and its going to be cheaper then by an xr8 in good condition and low kays, im thinking of just getting a wright off xr8 and using all the parts from that, would work out cheap in the long run wouldnt it? |

Doing it yourself would be cheaper, but, It doesn't hurt to get a pro to do it..
Mine has turned out perfect and I'm glad I spent the money... Best bang for buck would be either a 200 or 220kw motor, but you need to remember the ECU you use must match your series... I know a guy who may be able to help you out with parts and MAYBE (and that's a big maybe) a conversion done for you... He may even be coming on sunday and you could have a chat with him... All I can say is, the V8 conversion was the best mod I've ever done to the fairlane.. Really changed the car..! What's the budget...?
