Basically all I did was take out one engine and bolt a new one in. but I LOVE the results.
His car is my dream car.
It was my ride in Lantana's car at the Dragon that got me seriously thinking about a V8 conversion.
I LOVE the looks of the engine neatly tucked away under the hood, just waiting to bait some poor fool who THINKS he's sitting at a red light next to an average Crossfire. (Not that any Cross is average).
Ya gotta ride in Lant's car.... make sure he demos his brakes for you.
