Alright guys, I know this will probably end up with lots of school holidays responses etc, and yes, I am 15.
But I have a keen interest in cars, and that's why I'm here...to learn more.
As you chaps know, on my p plates I have to drive a N/A 6 cylinder car. Now I love VL's, particularly Calais. So, what I'm thinking is, instead of having a 26 year old engine, with 114 kw's, why not drop in a 6-7 year old engine, with 190 kws?
What I want to know is, what sort of things will I have to do. I'll hopefully be skilled enough (starting a mechanics course at TAFE in 10 months) to do the conversion myself with a bit of help from dad (who has no clue generally) and my mates/workmates. But what mods will I need to do to make it work (eg tailshafts, stronger gearboxes, wiring etc) will I have to do?
Thanks for your help.
