    Default V6 - 5 Litre Conversion

    Hey guys,

    i recently got my hands on a VR V6 Free, the car doesnt run, has crappy paint and has not really been looked after. I would like to turn this car into something different. Would like to run a few ideas past you and possibly get some feedback and ideas.

    I havent picked the car up yet, possibly tomorrow. It used to be a wicked looking/sounding/running car but has deteriated since an accident.

    The car itself
    Greyish V6 VR
    AUTO
    Lowered

    The plan
    Remove motor and 5L Transplant
    Remove interior and repair/paint
    Remove gearbox/ manual 6 speed


    for the conversion what parts would i need

    You would be better of if you could source a wrecked V8, it will have all the parts needed. The short list would include:
    Motor, K-frame, front suspension, ECU, Wiring Harness, Radiator, Air Conditioning Lines, All engine Accessories, V8 Diff, V8 Tailshaft. People will tell you Brakes but they are same for V6 or V8.
    his is not a complete list but it's a minimum starting point.

    Thanks mate.. I was thinking a wrecked V8 would be good.. I will start with ripping the motor out lol, maybe look at it and see what it worth selling etc
