yeah ill cruz. about the engine- is it really worth the effort? really youve gota weigh it up, your G161 and bit of work could munch the v6, or at least give it a good run, but even better the straight bolt in- no break upgrade g200. lots less hassle!

i heard that the rodeo v6 was all alloy and made 140kw... and it's tiny. i'd say that would kick arse. turbo........ Smile

Was driving a 3.2 litre V6 rodeo this arvo... unfortunately I didn't manage to pilfer the engine... must get around to checking if they run a gear linkage or if the lever goes straight into the box, and also measure the distance from the back of the engine to the gear lever.

I don't get the Rodeo back for either another week or another month... I might see it in the interim... I'll see what I can do.
