Right iv decided by the end of this year i want a new donk under the bonnet, wot ive got is a ln106 pushing 33's with 4.3s diffs and a g52 box. Want ideas/opinions on which motor to throw in the hole, prices on what it would roughly cost, hopefully be doing most of the work myself and a mate, but maybe off to a shop to. Ive been thinking the commy v6, sounds all good but ive heard of a few guys have had issues, one ended up putting a lexus v8 in instead. And the cost of the conversion kit (ouch) other option i was thinking was the 2jz, found one cheapish, might have hold of a bellhousing thats bolts between the motor and my g52 box. But low down torque wouldnt be much.

Well ideas/opinions apprecriated
Cheers

If you have the $$$$, go for the 8

Another option you should look into is a 1jz-gte. 2.5l toyota 6 twin turbo. You can pick one up for pretty cheap if you look around. They are boosting around 280hp

Thats the one, yes. Went down on Fri night to have a look, and they've done a pretty good job so far.

Another question, does any one know if it possible to bolt up the v6 commy manual box to the transfercase that you would find in a ln106, Think the commy box could be a lil loooong
