    you could sell your vl turbo and get a vl v8 and have money left over.

    In my opinion, dont waste your time or money doing the conversion. As has already been mentioned, you'll get more for the car if you sell it as a turbo and then use the money to either buy a VL V8 or buy a stock 6 and do the conversion.

    u prolly better off sellin ya turbo eng n gearbox and then buyin a vl v8 and just swappin all the bits u need, might need to put an extra $1k or so into buyin the vl v8 but its gunna be easy just swappin everything over, just copy off the old car.
