Shotgun your current intake and exhaust piping if you go down the RWD route.
I'm an engineer by trade. So the work will be more than upto spec. I don't know why ther would be a problem. I'm goin from 2.5 to 3ltrs. The car was originally turbo so that won't change. What do u see as the main hurdle in getting engineered?
If I was gunna go v8 I would go a toyota. 3uz-fe. But not really enough power.
Agree, stick with the 6a13 and make manifolds for all
Should be enough interest to fund your rebuild, only thing you'll be short on then is time! ;-)
If people want the tdo4 manifolds I can do this. I'm currently workin on getting a dead motor and front cut for a dummy setup. So I could theoretically make whatever u want. If any1 in Sydney has this and wants to separate with it would benefit the whole community. I would make this a bolt in kit. Price range? No idea.
Keeping and building a tough 6a would be different, no one has done a forged rebuild in Aus that I know of.The main thing I wanted was a motor that had a lot of support for mods. Everything on the 6a is custom. And it's a road that not many have travelled. At the end of the day I want to be different. Y? Cause I can. Lol.
