Start saving for a VCT engine? :p
If you plan on replacing internals, which you will probably have to do to get 150ish atw you will prolly not need the xr motor to start with? |

If it were me, I'd grab an AU XR6 engine (non V.C.T) and crank that up. Or if you're REAL keen, see if you can get hold of an EL 2 XR8 (or AU+) 5.0 litre motor + tranny. How good would that be???
If my motor ever shat itself beyond repair (unlikely, I know) I'd go the 185kw - 220kw V8 motor. Yeah!!! |

The simplest engine to install would be a non vct AU XR6 engine. Cheaper too.

5.0L is an expensive option, probably cheaper to buy a new car with a 5.0L in it!

I'm sorry mate, I know your looking for an XR6, but that picture of that Lancer has got to go. I see enough of them on the roads as it is, without having to see them on a Ford website.
I'm not having a go, nothing personal, I just can't stand to look at that Lancer anymore.... |
