supercharging is NOT an option... bang for bucks its not worth it imho

thing is, i even found my XR4x4 TT a bit laggy

ok, the first person to find me a proper company (and not some bodger!) who can sort out a v8 conversion for me (inc sourcing, fitting, setting up etc. etc.) will wina prize

thing is, what v8 do i go for i really dont fancy something that guzzles fuel toobadly. i think that it'd be greedy to go for more than about 400bhp (and i would kill myself too easily! lol) and i dont wanna spend a FORTUNE on transmission, so one with decent power delivery to use standard gearbox ratios would be a bonus
