Default Re: Engine changeover from 5 litre to 5.8 litre?

mel i'd check with the EPA/RTA first because i'm pretty shure you cant fit an older engine into a later body car.

Hey Mel, I do have a 5L supercharger system I am removing off my Sprint motor soon that is within your budget and will fit onto your hubby's motor.

PM me if you are interested. But no matter what which way you go, I would love to have an understanding car mad missus like you
I have realised ever before posting that my comment may appear sexist. It wasn't my intention to offend OP and if i have i offer my sincere apology.
To clarify my point - i believe in some separate space in couples hobies ,
interests etc. and comment was tongue in cheek which is hard to convey in a forum.
