Jeats Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I was just wondering has anyone attempted to do this swap with a 240Z in Australia? For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, take a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Barra_engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ford US has some L6's for dump trucks and the like I believe, but Ford Australia is a different ball game altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Any production I-6 upwards of 3.5 liters is most likely going to be a BIG motor, and these motors certainly aren't petite. Should that stop someone? I don't think so. If people put big block mopars in their zed, why not a big cube I-6? The tough part about most large cube inline swaps will be motor height. Even with a big block V8 height can be an issue, despite the availability of low profile manifolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thats why they make cowl induction hoods Now if you want to keep it a sleeper then yes they can be problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
