Very nice. Where did the V6 come from? A C6? Was it easy as in did it fit to existing mounts and in the normal engine bay?

Any build photos or was it done that quick it would have doubled the time it took? :lol:

It's looking excellent matey! Now I'm thinking about putting the newer D9 engine in my plastic car. Is there an easy fix for the canbus gubbins?

All mounts had to be fabricated from scratch as none were the same on the 1600 motor..
the 406 coupe was the donar car.
drive shafts fitted in with no mods at all which was nice.
Owelly the wiring on this system is a pig for work into the c4 system but will be very easy for your tupperware mobile. as your not trying to work it into another canbus system.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
