I have to replace my MV6 in about a year.

I'm eagerly keeping an eye on Monaro prices. I reckon by next year a 1st generation '04 plate LS1 powered one should be just about affordable!!  8-)
If I have to explain you won't understand!

Check out the prices for the HSV Commodore, they dont appear often but when they do theyre around the 11K mark, plus you get the 4 doors  :)

Wheeler Dealers on Discovery (repeated Sunday night) bought a J plate LS400 for £1300!! I know what they spend in time and money is way off (£200 for a parrot bluetooth kit that is only £70), but at that price it still looked clean and engine wise was perfect.

2nd thoughts, cheap V8 donor car+ 1 no Omega, anyone follow where it could be haeding????

i follow - as a few have - could be messy though but no reason why it wouldnt work with a bit of blood, sweat and tears along the way ;)

just ripe for a Supra TT engine ;)

Am I not right in saying that's what's basically in them already? I'm sure I've heard/read that they're very tuneable, unlike the 400 V8's.

If I had that I wouldn't be swapping the engine. It's fantastic just the way it is. That mileage seems a bit iffy though.
