    Default Replacing ecotec with l67.

    Just wondering what needs to be done to fit the l67 into a vy v6 auto? Is it worth the extra cash? and any ideas where you would pick one up from? ive looked all over the net and havent had much luck finding one...

    Cheers - vyjoshy

    not worth the money to change everything over cause they are different.

    If you rebuild the standard l36 with forgies then hit it with a raptor supercharger its gonna be the same money for built reliability, other alternatives are 4.2 come stroker block.

    hey its a huge waste of cash and time changing your engine. just sell your car and buy the one with the engine you want.

    yea have had a look around and seen some options but like adam said.. with the money i end up spending i might as well sell it and buy something else.

    Would you guys recommend the l67 or better goin for an 8?

    rofl, sif you would waste 20k building a 6 to still have a slow car.

    Mate if yu are hell bent on having a fast car, sell your current, go buy an LSX based Commodore, do the work and smile. It is pointless making a 6 fast it just costs too much money. As for being different, not sure why people use this excuse because every second person has a turbo or charged 6 these days.

    Do you really want to spent in excess of 15k to have a car that gets whooped by unopened LSX's?

    Yeah, depends how much its gonna cost, but some times you can just find the eaton M90 setups around, if you can get it all done cheap then do it, but i wouldnt spend too much on it.
    Stock they rnt quick, but with lots of cash they can be... but then like minux is saying, for the same cash u could have an even quicker LS1

    If you can afford the petrol the v8's use, go for that... it don't get much better =)
