Hi all,
I am after a v6 engine from a zs as i want to rebuild it and possibly do the supercharger conversion to it.
i dont really mind how many miles it has on it.
hopefully you can help me

because i am always learning things the more i do, plus because the supercharger is going on have of it will be replaced anyway so it makes more sense to get rid of all the old stuff and then i know i have a fresh engine

the internals mate, im going to uprate:
pistons
cams
pullys
belts
crankshaft
con rods
big ends
well you get the jist of it.
so now you should see why its cheaper to buy a knackered engine rather than buy a good engine and pull it all apart for no reason.

sounds like a fun little project. I'd love to do that myself but I don't have the space

I would love to explore the KV6, but I don't have the spare money to carry out such a project. One day when my girls all ****** off I might have the money :laugh:
