I'm not sure but I would say that it wouldnt be that easy and some mods to the bonnet possibly

What's a tubo? Is that something to do with widening the rear wheel arches?

i think it's supposed to be turbo- look how the word is being used.

In response to chico20, the general consensus in various other posts is that it can be done, but it would be cheaper to work the current motor due to requiring: complete engine, new wiring loom, new computer, possible body work to accomodate taller head, etc. Most of the advice I've seen has been something along the lines of turbo the motor that's in there now- cheaper and just as effective.

hey fellas

yea i thought it might be it woul dbe mission changing everything but it would look good i got 250 crossflow under the hood now mayby just stick to working that getting bigger crankshaft and the bottem end worked and top set of extractors woudl be smick cost bit much now days but something like 700 bucks i priced some for the other day so yea means more hours at work for me

Hey chico20, the barra six is taller than 250 crossflow(roughly 120mm taller), so i dont think it would fit, unless you modified bonnet.

yea i was thinking along the lines of gettiong one custom made no it would cost but it would look the part forsure
