hi mate
i understand you like to keep to an old six ....i would put the ba xr.6. turbo motor in for better economy and beter h/p but if you want old school ..go the xe six ...i think its one of the better ones .by far. cheers |

I agree the BA option would be best, give you better fuel economy and power as said. May cost a bit for it though - If you do choose to go with the old style, ive seen 4.1 crossflows (most recent one was from an XC i think) popping up on ebay for $100 / $150 buyout, people making GT replicas, or doing V8 conversions on their XC/XD/XE etc dump them cheap.
also shouldnt be hard because the cortys did come with that engine in them.
