I think the blue one has appeared on ebay 3 times in the last couple of years, ask Bushboy about running a V6 in these cars as he has a MAzda V6 in his Nova.

Jim, that's a totally different kettle of fish to Bushy's engine in that it is a cast iron block hanging out the back and weights soooo much more than the Mazda lump. This would handle like C*** in the wet with any amount of throttle.

I fully concur with BBC, having had the very same engine fitted in my Avante when I drove it back fro Portsmouth after I bought it. Totally unstable, the big anchor just took all the weight out of the steering, making it a pig to keep straight on a dual carriageway, and very tail happy at roundabouts. I got it home and the engine came out straight away (sold to Steve Cook) to be replaced by a smaller lighter engine.
BB's engine is all alloy I believe.

But can you check that cars haven't already been listed in this thread before putting up duplicates, please

I am not a V6 Guru, just pointing out as to who has experience of a V6 lump.
