    stroker kits is the starting place.
    bore out and sleeve then fit chev 400 pistons.
    thats as big as you can fit in.
    head work is a must for this level.

    also i have beaten vr hsv v8's at the light in a loaded vp v6 wagon.

    it comes down to how hard you flog it as to wether you win or not.

    save your money and buy one of the last 5.0s (they have roller everything) & a cast iron block that you can stroke the **** out of

    he wont be on his P's forever, doing performance work to a V6 is like, well its like, getting an ugly chick & buying her nice jewellery & sexy clothes, underneath u still got the ugly chick you dont wanna have much fun with....
