whats needed (what donor car) for this and how do i keep it manuel and will the v6 be majorly to heavy cheers

D16PJM

donor car would be a 24v scorpio, can still be manual, if you look on the XR register there are loads of people on there that have done the conversion and will be able to help or cosie4I on here has also done the conversion and says it can be done for around £500 but that is with selling some of the parts from the donor vehicle.

Tuned up zetec?I'm thinking n/a,2.0l,throttle bodies and so on.not Cossie power granted but 180 odd bhp should make for a nice quick motor.

Clean car btw.

24V anyday. A fully trimmed saph weighs a lot so a high revving NA screamer 4 potwouldnt be great IMO. Least with a V6 youve got a bit of grunt. v8 would be better though!
