3.2 would make more sense... Be plug and play with no need to swap the sensors and intake/throttle gubbins/manifolds ;)

Hmm

Just wondering if it would be cheaper to sell the 2.6 and go for a 3.0 or 3.2 .. must be a day or 2 work to replace an engine and that will add up  :-\

Days work, including tea stops :)
3.0L into a 2.6 only thing to check is make sure 3.0L has late spec heads with holes for coil pack bolts. :)

Can't see as they'd be a huge difference has you will be running the same 2.6 / 3.2 engine management as the 3.0 engine management and loom swap would be a backwards labour intensive move.

Higher compression on the 3.0 might shave a little off the fuel consumption. Then again, the ignition map on the 2.6 ECU might not suit it. DLK did the swap to good effect, though, if memory serves?

Aye, Daz kept the original Manual box and Diff (previous engine was a 2.6) so the car pulled rather well.
