Evil XR6T Bronze Donating Members 138 Member For: 13y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 29/10/13 02:40 AM Share Posted 29/10/13 02:40 AM Heys guys, I got the weak 'BA' bottom end and I'll be doing an enginhe swap within the next 6-12 months. I got told that my tuner could get a FG XR6T short block for $5500. I wanted to get one built for that price, but a bit stronger, unfortunately there's not alot of great engine builders here in Townsville. I'm only pushing for just over 400rwkw, so its over kill, but I know I'll always want more. Basically, I'd like to get this topic going to gather everyones experiences with their swaps/builds ect. So if you got any tips/hints/advice or stories, please feel free to share !!! Cheers !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if you called them up, you could prolly do it for 2500 outside of eBaycausenosellerfees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is this 'bayford'? Honestly, I haven't done any research yet cause I'm still saving, but I wanna get a feel for what everyone else does.
