I'm sure if you tried hard enough you could get a Lister Storm V12 in it ! In other words Dan, nothing's impossible - only your bank balance limits it !

Sam's right , if you are going to do this to any ZS then make it a 180 as it already has the uprated brakes etc. Then you can sell the V6 on to recuperate some money

T series engine would be a better choice. The change from K4 to T series has been done many times on the ZR, so the knowledge and parts are there already.
