Does anyone know if you can swop the 2.6 V6 for the 2.8?

A quick look and it seams possible....

ok so more digging around has shown it's not quite a weekend job, as l will need loom and ecu, and sort the immobilizer and poss change the instrument cluster, so l'll probably pass....

The differences are huge!

You'd need a
new wiring loom/some modding
MAF Sensor/MAF Sensor box
New badges Razz
ECU

Instrument cluster would be the same, along with a lot of other things.

You'd honestly be better off getting the longer pistons off a 2.8 and running them as that's the only difference I think.

I'd look into that first.

Ive got spare 2.6 V6 engines, if you want to rebuild one and then swap it in one weekend so your not without your car. Don't want anything for them.
