Hey Neraj, I did a bit of a quick measure on the V6's for 510 fitment, the
DET is pretty tight between the strut towers and the VG gurus in USA say
there quite a bit heavier the the single cam VG's, which fit between the
towers sweet as. As to weight over the front wheels the V6 is shorter than
the four so negates to some degree the difference in engine weights.
Regards Craig
