Re: 2.5 V6 to 2.8 V6

the cranks are the same, the piston dome heights are different as is the gudgon pin height. the liners are the same lenght but bigger on the 3.0L . a 2.8 conversion wont work with a high compression engine without enormas work..

The Old GTV was pretty easy to convert to 2.8. Why not just buy a 3.0 L?, well because of the way the 2.8 would rev, its so oversquare and makes a fantastic engine, the 3.0 doesent sound anything like as good but it does have lots of torque... depends what you want, i wanted the sound a revs of a 2.8.... but there we go
