Does anyone know if you can swop the 2.6 V6 for the 2.8?
A quick look and it seams possible.... |

ok so more digging around has shown it's not quite a weekend job, as l will need loom and ecu, and sort the immobilizer and poss change the instrument cluster, so l'll probably pass.... |

The differences are huge!
You'd need a
new wiring loom/some modding
MAF Sensor/MAF Sensor box
New badges
ECU
Instrument cluster would be the same, along with a lot of other things.
You'd honestly be better off getting the longer pistons off a 2.8 and running them as that's the only difference I think.
I'd look into that first. |

Ive got spare 2.6 V6 engines, if you want to rebuild one and then swap it in one weekend so your not without your car. Don't want anything for them. |

Thanks Shaun, shame you are on the opposite side of the country to me as I'm Essex. |
