Hi guys,
I was thinking of, in the future, upgrading my vs v6 to an 8 untill the other day when l thought of the new vz engine. Would it fit into a vs bay? Would it be worth putting the new 6 rather then an older 8?

from the spec's darren has found, and from what i know about engine conversions, id say it wont fit, it will fit in engine bay, but mount wise, would cause it to sit to far forward in engine bay, as a result, no-go, never know though, id wait for now, and see what the new motor looks like, jumping your gun a bit, lol

yeah, l know l'm jumping the gun a tad :-D. I mean the engine hasn't even gone into production!!! Its just l had that idea and thought someone might know off hand, performance wise, if it would be a betterr option to a recon vs v8.

Mounts could be fabricated??

However, wouldn't it be harder and a bit expensive to get a brand spanking new engine?

Yeah you would be better off waiting a few months until a few of the new VZ's are in wreckers. Im sure there are some ********s out there who will write one off in a few weeks of having it... Lol...

No offence to anyone of course!!!
