Be a little more open to what's out there. I've had jap piston engines reving up around 11000 with turbo.

Oh and guys, im guying for a test drive in a FG this friday! The guy is upgrading to a V8, Ill let you know how it goes!

I have one thing to say, any engine modified to rev to 9000rpm will not be a daily driver as you expect in one of your criteria's earlier.

You want an 11second FG XR6 NA or VE SV6. Think $60k at least and probably double it (if you are going to get a shop to do the work entirely) with all the driveline and failures as you trail and error parts that work and do not work.

kezzer, what do you drive at the moment?

I thought you already had a VE SV6 ute?

haha just a random thought, has anyone put a ford engine in a commodore before? Like the looks of the VE over the FG, but everyone on here seems to think the barra has the better motor. Could be interesting lol.

The alloytecs can be stroked for 4.0-4.2 litres from the horses mouth.

Would love to see one in the flesh.

There are plenty of Chev powered fords around, mainly old school, easier to mod the old 350 apparently. I think it may be a bit harder to jam a ford i6 in a commo though, due to the length and all. Probably easier to stick the v6 in a Falcon. However personally I never got the whole crossbreed thing, keep the bloodline pure I say, if you've got a Ford power it with a Ford!!

Nope, I am currently driving around an old Mitsubishi lancer, lol, biggest pile of junk. Must have me confused with someone else.

ok thanks for that, it's never simple is it? lol, but that's what makes it so bloody fun.Talking about workshops, anyone know a decent one in or around melbourne? I don't mind the travel, I've been to the Horse Power factory before, but the parts he quoted me for a BA was through the roof.

Problem is why would you put a slower engine in a heavier car?

This should give you an idea of how hard it is to get an SV6 up and boogying:

Where, and please tell me, did I say I was going to put a barra in a commodore??? Do YOU think before you type this up lol?? I said it would be interesting, didn't say I was going to do it. :

Also there are plenty of people driving high powered cars with NO idea how the internals work. :the_finge

Anyway, getting back to people that actually want to help.

5's at 120km/hour is bloody good stock. Whats the best you've got for 100km/hour? And yes I know it's at a constant speed.

Good to know there are a lot of people willing to give advice on these forums and not act like w*nk*s

Cheers.

You mentioned sub 10 second cars and now turn the topic too good fuel economy, the two issues do not go hand in hand, do you have a point to this thread because i can't see it ?

Edit.

I just noticed the last two replies from the OP, the thread is bad enough but attitude to members is not tolerated.
