Thanks... you would'nt happen to know of any good mechanics? i was hoping that since i got the engine out of the car instead of fixing it just buy a new engine and build it up from there but i need a good mechanic to do so or some good advice and do it myself, i'd heard of vn motors been put it is that too much trouble?

Where in melbourne are you? You could put a VN engine in if you multiplied your 3k but at least 4.

Mate, someone on here spent 15k on his car, putting the v6 in and shit, then once he finished no engineer would touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Hmm that sounds affordable, and a good idea... only thing is i've got no time to do it myself and i dont feel that confident so i need a mechanic for it... also what's a vn long motor?
