Good Morning all,
I have recently purcahsed a ELII XR8 merely as a project car as Ive always had a soft spot for that model. Now originally the plan was to set aside around about 15K for engine work and the remiander 5K for cosmetics. Though now Ive been hit with a delema. Ive been given an oppertunity to get my hands on a BF XR8 engine (30,000kms) along with the 6 spd manual tranny. Though the question Im asking myself is, is it worth it? With all due respect unless you have intentions on working a 260, standard they ain't the most impressive engines. My main concern is that if I do opt with this conversion rather then the original plan of playing with the Windsor that throws me out 10K straight up leaving only 5 left for upgrades.... So my question is guys & girls; Would you spend 15K on performance mods for a Windsor (200,000+kms) or 5K on a newish Boss 260..........
