V8 Baby.......!

[Famous jh]

Sounds mental alright - M5 engine would be heavy, would need to sit well back, possibly even make a new bulk head I would presume?

I wouldn't think their any heavier than a RB lad...

the boys in dungarvan would have no hassles with that if queelys car is anything to go by

Oh yeees

Oh god if i had my way the Laurel would be gettin a V8

LS series V8's are ten a penny in the states and relatively cheap to pick up. Plenty of company's make mount kits for S body nissans, mazda's etc so its also an easy conversion, no messing about with intercooler pipe work or wastegates etc either.

They're popular over there because of the nature of FD and the tracks they use, instant power with no lag and run much cooler than any turbo charged engine in the 50 degree heat of Vegas and Atlanta.

I don't think you ' need ' one for the Irish scene but I'd have one over a turbo charged jap motor any day. 400hp/400lbs ft torque handy and all it needs is an oil change every now and then !

I would go with an american v8 over european for def

add an ecu, cams and raise the compression and you'd have mega reliable power

Buy a crashed Monaro in the UK. They pop up pretty often and then do an engine swap

Or if your really cool fix the Monaro and drift that!! a Monaro drift car would be awesome!!!
