  • You might be a 60v6 enthusiast if...

    You get back from the parts store and notice your Ranger that flipped 200k miles recently now reads 660(.5) miles on the odometer when you pull in the drive

    • Hmm.

      Well out of the 8 turbo kits built, only 4 were 60v6, I might be a loser?

        Or Ben needs to fabricate a Ban-Hammah! Luckily for you, Ben isn't a fabricator, lol.

            you might be a 60v6 enthusiast if you drive out to said shop and knee cap them for holding your parts hostage.


            not to derail but i thought you had that running.

            i had a good one but now i'm drawing a blank.
            It runs, but it wont stay running. Needs more programming

                • I do it with 96-97 Montes, Luminas and on rare occasion, GTPs... I still need a downpipe to finish off the top end swap parts once I go through these two sets of heads I have to learn from, and I'll probably buy another set or two before it's over and installed on the car...

                      • A toyota 4x4 would be very interesting, because Top Gear couldn't destroy one of those things. Would it be a street truck or offroad though? Either way the 60V6 could be made very competitive

                            Then again, maybe I am retarded since I want to do it with a DOHC, be it an LQ1, or the 3.6

                            • DOHC in a Chevette might be more than a little tight, the shock towers/front suspension would prolly need redesigned.

                              • I took a tape measure to a junkyard years ago and estimated that it should fit, but tightly, IIRC.

                                Does that redeem me as a 60v6 enthusiast?
