Bloody pricey though to get it done properly what with all the custom fabrication/parts etc.
Oh and of course the reactions from all the close-minded people who couldn't accept that engine conversion...even though the whole idea of custom cars is built around innovative ideas...otherwise all VLT's would be canary yellow bt1's brahhhh.
Whether you do it or not, who knows...but I reckon it's not a bad idea IF it could be done without incurring too much of a dent in the bank.
