6 litre or 5.7 litre conversion

[kohan]

hi guys, i found a vt 2 senator for sale but perhaps needs a new engine, so im thinking if i were to get it, would i just put in a 5.7 or would you put in a 6lt. I would like to hear pro's and cons of both.
Im thinking maybe 5.7 to keep it more original, but like to hear what you guys think. oh and aprox prices, i wouldnt really know the prices. Cheers

you can get ls1's with low k's for around the 2-4 grand mark now that would be the easy way mate

[H1GHROLLR]

you use the wiring harness thats from the doner car and just add all the extenions on to your harness ive never done it before and am most of the way through it now it aint that hard i marked everything before i unpluged it with tape so it was a since when it came to plugging everything back into the new motor
