sadly i can't do it for at least 12 months, saving hard for my euro trip, then after that need to earn up some dosh....

Got an e-mail back from eBay about that Monaro, he gave me his phone number and said call that...

If the engine does cost a grand, then what a project! - I am sure with help here it can be fitted fairly cheaply so for cost of my car, 2.7K + 1K for V8.. so 4 grand could give you a car that does 170mph and 60 in around 6.5 seconds!  :o

You may have to beef up the suspension a bit Tunnie, and I dont think your gearbox would be too keen either ;)

Don't forget the LPG conversion costs - even with your thrifty driving a 5.7 V8 would cost a tiny bit more than a 2.2 to run.  :-/  But it would be worth it  :y

Well inititally i thought i would add some spice to proceedings...

Then i very nearly got it until i saw sense!  Thankfully just before the PAY button on paypal!  ;D

I promised myself after this MV6 i would have either a Commadore or a Monaro.... Im not going to spoil that by fitting the V8 in this. lol... It would probably be a bitch anyway! lol.

Had some of you going (me included!) for a min though! :D

I remember watching James May's review of the 5.7V8 Monaro, at 60mph in top gear the engine was idling at 1,500 rpm! :o

Around town, yes it would be a thirsty beast. But on a run i rekon you'd get fairly good mpg.

Unsure with insurance.... got 5 years NCB, 6 by the time i finish uni... so dunno. I did do a Tesco online quote but they said call them  :-[
