    A good second hand 3.9 is probably the cheapest option

    I went for a P76 (4.4) partly because it was supposedly fully reconditioned for $3000.

    It was'nt. Heads cost me $2000.

    The modifications to fit the P76 took ne a while & I spent another $200 on things like the flywheel that i could not make myself.

    : I have a 1989 RR with the 3.5L V8.
    :
    : I would value your opinion on the most
    : cost effective!! way of increasing the
    : performance of the beast.
    :
    : Ways of boosting the performance that I
    : have considered so far are:
    : 1. Supercharging / turbocharging
    : 2. Increased capacity (3.9, 4.6, 5.0)
    : 3. Engine change (5L / 5.7L Holden)

    : Does anyone have any advise /
    : experience on the above?
