just buy a vr6, youll have the full package then :) I dont see the point of swapping the lump and creating a car that is already easily available, just seems like hassle and once you replace the suspension and brakes to cope its not really worth it when you can jsu buy the car your putting together. Just my opinion

Also the insurance may be retarded because it wont be a vr6, itll be classed as heavily modded mk3 cl so may end up costing more to insure than a vr6 with all its extra luxuries

Get a realistic total cost for the lump, brakes, suspension, labour, exhaust etc

Then see what price a vr6 is in the autotrader
