THABOSS Donating Members 29 Member For: 17y 16d Gender: Male Location: Jabiru NT Posted 22/11/07 03:24 AM Share Posted 22/11/07 03:24 AM OK Hey Guys & Gals,I've snapped a con rod in my na ba xr6 and wanted to ask a few questions:1) Have any of you replaced conrods in your car before and if so what costs were involved?2) Would it be worth trying to get FORD to drop an FPV motor in my XR6 ie. F6 turbo 6 or a BOSS 290?would it be allowed?Anyway if you know any of the answers please let me know...Cheers,Jah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
