    you might have the room for an ecotec but im pretty sure the engine mounts would be different... maybe try the straight six section cause once you get your full licence you might want to go turbo and itll help if youve already got the right engine for it

    RB series are the best engines to put in the VL's. Dont waste your time with the holden boat anchors.

    Is the V6 already there or are you putting it in yourself? Seems like a waste of time to me Id stick with the straight 6 thats already in there or buy a VN or later if you want a V6

    RB25 has the most power in NA form but if you use the RB30 bottom end and RB25 head you will have more power again
