i dont wanna sound bitchy or nothing but its a LEXUS (Luxury EXport to the US) a lexen is a ####ty commodore come toyota thing. Easy mistake, cmon the fords

Someone told me a L24 would bolt in.... cant say it was a reliable source though

why not put a L28 six in there this is what ive been thinking about for mine

resoning being the id plate says L series

so its not to much of a strech to fit the 6 it actually bolts to the gearbox

yeh mate i didnt meen to make you sound silly just didnt whant you to dive in and sudenly realise its a lot more work than you realised have you thaught about the toyota lexen quad cam v8 you can pick them up at a resonable price and they are a very strong motor keep the emagination flowing
and its good to see you chose a ford mill over holden as when im not a datsun nissan freak i like my fords

hey you're on the right track though dude - don't be too harsh on yourself. crazy conversions are great and we all need a bit of variety.

if you want something a little "closer to home" why not try the rover V8? get a post 1984 3.9L all alum 185kg engine and put a kitted trimatic behind it, put an M90 eaton on top and have some.....uh, fun

ok, you got me there. should really think more about what I am saying b4 is say it... i do understand what you are sayin...

sr20det and fj20det are both good (from what I have heard from the site) japanese motors (i'm not knocking japanese motors... they have some pretty damn good technology), but I wanted to stick with something a bit closer to home like the ford six or holden v6... maybe it wasn't as good an idea as i thought...

you can not expect to throw a super charger on a ford six and expect 200rwkw
with out inturnal mods to the engine so their for you are looking at a lot more than $2500 pistons, valves, valve springs, ect, ect and they are very hevy.
the fj20det is a verry strong motor and will make more power with more reliability as they are built for the boost
and dont forget the sr20det

dunno, but i thought the rb20 was a 2.0l, whereas the Australian Ford six is a 4.0l inline six. wouldn't this mean that it would be bigger by a reasonable amount???

also, a thing i forgot to say in my earlier post was the availability of performance parts for the Ford inline six. you can get Powerdyne supercharger kits promising 200rwk+, from $2,500. for the fj20t to get the same power to weight as the stock inline six you would be testing the reliability of the fj20t? still, i know little about the japanese tech. engines, and i can see the advantages of using such an engine...

*edit* i don't mean this like i am a know-it-all, i am asking questions so i can develop my mechanical knowledge... big words
