    Default V6 3.8L in a KE70

    Can the V6 out of a commodore go into a KE70. ive been told that i should do it cause it wont need any power upgrades to drift. just manual.

    would handle poo out of the box i wreckon. but yeah certainly have a decent power/weight ratio. as llong as you sort out some good shocks i wreckon it'd be alright, i expect at least 1 person to say how bad of an idea this is but these things have a fair amount of torque, will have to screw around with the trans tunnel to fit the commo manual i wreckon

    although it would have more than enough power, it will fuck ur weight distribution and the whole point of a light car im guessing since its in a much larger/heavier car, if you do a 4age conversion still more than enough to drift with

    power from a 4age is certainly enough to do the dori, turboing is somethin i've seen a fair bit of lately with em.. not really worth all the hassle but yeah if you want to do it then go ahead

    Sounds great, it might be abit more challenging but sounds like a cheap setup. Kiwi tim has just put a 4.2 v8 in his rolla with great success, i doubt it would be heavier than that.

    Good courage posting that topic aswell there's alot of comedians on here
