...or I suppose the other way of looking at it, put toys and LPG in a Holden...?

Problem is, (factory fit) toys are never going to play in a different car (without major ball-ache), and a LPG'ed Holden would have zero boot space. :(

And a conciderably larger bill than an mv8/elite v8 even if it could be done easily....

Yep. It's all down to cost ATM. If cheap enough, and we can source the lumps, yes IMO.

Although I still need to look at insurance costs  :-[ which may kill the whole idea stone dead for me.  :'(

Yes please!

Oh wait.. wasn't I supposed to not modify this car? Oh well! ;D

(For that matter, if you have a good source of reasonably priced engines, I might be interested in just a lump, too)

Been quoted £911 to insure with Ls1, and uprated brakes and suspension. So I reckon that's a doable.  :y
