aposegil 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Hello all some of you might remember me others well I use to own a corrado many moon's ago Anyhow been looking at getting a vr6 or something similar as a toy and been offered a corrado L-reg thats 16v originally but was half way thru putting a V6 4-m 2.8 engine in. Me personally I really dont see the benefit/against the amoutn of work need to running this engine over a nice healthy 2.9 VR6 engine. Now my dilema is owner wants to sell complete but I dont want that the engine. are these engines easy to sell? or does someone have a very nice 2.9 engine willing to swap? opinions welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
