Help with buying new engine

Post by FehnCrow »

OK, so I want to put a v6 engine in my 2000 Daewoo Leganza. Any suggestions on a specific engine that'll fit in my Daewoo or any sites with info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Why dont you just go with one of the bigger 4bangers?

It'd be tonnsss less work, bolts ons would probably get it making as much power as a v6, lighter, and better gas milege. A 2.0 from say the forenza/reno with simple bolt ons would probably make as much power as you'd want.

+1 It is also direct bolt-on to your gearbox. I believe you'll need to relocate at least one driver-side motor mount.

This is very popular conversion in Europe... if they can get 3.0 V6 into Astra / Lemans / Lanos / Racer (see below), there is more than room required to fit it in the Leganza
