frozenxr6t Member 140 Member For: 10y 3m 10d Posted 26/12/15 09:57 AM Author Share Posted 26/12/15 09:57 AM Yeah that is true but I thnk if I do with a f6 engine I'll wanna keep it and make more power plus the misses said if we spend more coin on it we gotta keep it forever which I don't mind at all. If minimal damage is done I'll keep it and freshen up with what it needs and put it in my ba when that engine goes and just drive xr6 turbos for the next 15 years haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys at northmead auto have been doing this with good results and cheaply. I think tbre do this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
