Brian_B 10 Posted July 25, 2012 Just blown the G60 engine (PG Code) in my Caddy and looking for something else, will a VR6 engine drop straight in?? If anyone has anything that'll go, please drop me a message and let me know along with the details and price. Much appreciated :) Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian_B 10 Posted July 25, 2012 Lion, would it drop straight in or would I need to modify anything? Could you pallet it for me so I could arrange a courier? Thanks Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fanjita 1 Posted July 25, 2012 I've got a good runner VR6 but it's far from plug and play into a G60. Let me know if you're interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted July 25, 2012 I think the mounts are in different locations arent they? Plus you'd need to upgrade the brakes, gearbox (??), front suspension, ECU and Looms etc. But it is possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian_B 10 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Here's the spec of what's on the van just now: Gasflowed big valve head Schrick 272 degree cams Front mount alloy intercooler 68mm pulley G-Werks chip Pipercross panel filter Schrick baffled sump Gasflowed exhaust manifold New s/s exhaust G60 Disc & Pads with Audi S2 twin pot calliper V-maxx front coilovers Axle flipped with boge turbo beetle shocks Recent Stage 4 Supercharger Rebuild by Jabbasport To be honest I've not stripped the head back to see what the damage is...won't get round to it til the weekend. I'm really needing a quick(ish) fix to get it back on the road....Looks like either a repair or a straight swap would be best for me depending on what I find. I'm hoping that it's just the head gasket but as we all know it can be a lot worse than that once I crack it open. It'd be a shame to drop this engine out because it's had a hell of a lot of work done to it but I just don't have the time or indeed a couple of grand to start throwing at it just now unfortunately! Just done a quick compression check and here's what I got... cyl 1 - 100psi cyl 2 - 60psi cyl 3 - 85psi and cyl 4 -100psi. Need to get a look at the Bentley when I get home to see what they should be at....I'm hoping that just the gasket has gone between 2 & 3 but I'm no mechanic so I'll get the old boy to cast an expert eye over it.

Portent 0 Posted July 25, 2012 There's a freshly rebuilt 16v G60 with 0 miles for sale on E38. Approx £2.5k if I recall but he's open to offers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
