ok first of all i know this has been asked many times. things i have heard is that to do a v8 conversion(v6 change over) ull need new engine mounts new brakes diff, transmission, speedo, new computer and all dat. but i been thinking is it possible to do one if i dont change the brakes the tranny and the diff and the tail shaft and all dat. and just change the engine and engine mount and also the computer and speedo. is that possible will the car run with just those changes? if not can som1 tell me away to do one that only sets me bak to $2000 of money spent. cos recently u all know NODG just brought a v8 for $3000 so i was thinking theres no point of me doing a v8 conversion if its gonna cost me more than $3000-$4000 i minus well buy another vn which is a v8 instead. so my Question is can it be possible to run a v8 engine withtout braking that badget. b4dn xxxx and sorry to hear bout ur loss FORMULA im sure ur mums very happy with u b4 she past away. mwah
