I've been thinking about doing something similar. Get the running gear out of a crashed F6 and transfer it to a XK-XP style body. Leave the body and interior original and only have non standard wheels and ride height. Would be the ultimate sleeper. FF |

Stating the obvious but I'd be doing some serious work on the brakes too. Would an XR6T power plant be cheaper and easier to come by. It would make a very cool project. Are the XR6T motors longer than the old 170?
In hindsight I probably should have turboed the 221 in my XT ute, just for something different... |

There is a nice XP (I think) with a very neat turbo set up in Victoria.
