I found the V6 quite handy to fit and since its only 3 cylinders wide, there is more room between the timing belt side of the engine and the inner wing whereas on the 2.0 there is very little room. There is just some cutting and welding required for the rear exhaust manifold and downpipe and a few other bits, wiring etc. Apart from that the mounts can be bought and it is pretty much a bolt in job. Its hard to beat the sound of a V6 and thats part of the reason I fitted it

sounds well shit, i'd look into spending more money on drivetrain/suspension/wheels than these old engines, they don't sound very smooth
