It will not be a stripped racer.

Let?

C20xe on tbs?

V6? Can tbs be fitted on a v6?

Opinions? I have never did a conversion and have limited knowledge which puts me off a let due to cost of engine

buy a c20xe, fit that, also buy a let and rebuild that while ragging the xe around etc.

then swap them over in a year or so

x20xev's are out of phase 2 astra gsi's, vectras etc

iv got the one in my astra upto 191 bhp @ the fly so far with itbs,cams, management etc, pretty good engine but not many folks will do alot of tuning with them, most will go for an xe
