The polar moment of inertia is the main problem, also to a lesser extent is the change in weight distribution. Single cam VG30's are definitely a better proposition although expensive to set up.

The concern i guess is the amount of engine in front of the struts affecting cornering. i put this to the ozdat forum & the concensus was that i was mad for suggesting it :) i reckon in the end the best 6 cylinder would be the vg30. i think that it is legal in NA form, just within the weight ratio? has anyone had any experience with the vg30 swap ? from what i have seen it is probably just as expensive as a sr20 etc. i thought the L series 6 transplant might be quite cheap to do, but have no idea how bad the weight distribution would affect the corner ability of the vehicle. I found a guy (Eddie) who has seen that orange stanza, he reckons the radiator is under that aluminiun cover that you can see in the photo. I still like the idea of the L20 or L28 in the 1600 & i think it would be comparatively cheap to do, ie no special requirements for fuel injection etc etc, just stick triples on it. the handling has me concerned though, any ideas ?........anyway enough rambling for now. cheers Jeff -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: L18 stroker - any good? An L28 would fit if you moved the radiator to the rear. But it would be pretty front heavy. I know there is a 200B rally car in Vic with an L24 engine in it. Looks a pretty good fit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 11:01 AM Subject: RE: L18 stroker - any good? > OUCH ! > does an L20 6 cylinder fit in a 510 without fire wall modifications ? > anybody know ? > > ta Jeff. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Errol Smith > Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 9:45 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: L18 stroker - any good? > > > Jeff, > An S20 would be around $40,000.
