Thats what the pictures are,

1) get a big cutting tool
2) remove half the engine
3) do a bit of welding
4) fit it all back together
5) Pray it works

i have been thinking of doing the same to mine. i have the same 32v abz motor. but the gearbox has been a big worry for me. have you done anything to the gearbox. what are the limits on the gearbox?

the gear box will take the power no problem you just need to get a remap by a good tuner so they can map it so it dose not give max torque until higher in the rev range and gears its the torque that will kill the box so if you can tame it then its fine :-)

Anyone have a way to get in touch with the OP? I have a few questions for him...

By OP, do you mean Botany?

Indeed, sorry, it's message board slang here in the States, means "original poster." In other words, the gent who started the particular thread in which discussion is occurring.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty universal, at least in English-speaking lands.
