What do you put a VH45DE in?

[Morgs]

Not that this plan is serious or anything.... just speculating

What donor vehicle would you put one of these mighty fine engines in? Im not sure on physical size of these engines, obviously the smaller the car the better off it'd be anyone got any ideas?

Also is there a manual gearbox this thing can go with? :)

I'd like to put a high-tech Jap bent eight into an old-school Aussie car... how about a VH45DE into an old Charger? That would piss off the bogans no end! :D

I'm seroiusly thinking about the VG30DET in my Val. But even without measuring I have a feeling it would be a very tight fit width wise, and I don't want to cut the old girl. V8 would be even better. Ultimate Cruiser.:cool: :D

/Paydirt contemplates money on cars or house!:D

Series 1,2,3 XJ6 Jag. swb series 1 would be my choice, make a change from usual chev swap. Would suit character of the car too, refined.

Are they hard to get in OZ? how much do they go for ?

[sssgtr]

From what i've heard they can go as low as $2000. I think they're on par pricewise with the Lex 4L quad cam.
