Im a owner of a 2008 3dr GV I am planning to upgrade my exsisting engine but I also wanna swap out engines from 1.6 to the 2.7 v6 for the 4 door models...
Correct me if im wrong.
 
thats way too big and im trying to stay in my bracket and brand so as i asked can i source this type of engine?.
 
The 2.7 v6 is a good option I would have thought although I'm not sure of anyone who has done the conversion yet. Get a full donor car though with the wiring and gearbox too. Theres a guy near me with a TVR engine in his Vitara! Its pretty mental and he regularly takes it off road - thats how they should be driven! (His is also jacked up by about 12 inches!)
 
Are there import specialists in Antigua who can locate and import one on your behalf? There are quite a few breakers/salvage yards in the UK who can supply but you're best bet is getting one locally just in case there is a problem with it.
 
Well we do have places like that here but how many Vitara's are there?... Not many if any at all.... if there is any available its either burnt or flipped and the owner will not sell for nothing... so thats why i came on here to find the engine and gear box.
I have competition here where as there are some slow ass jeeps trying to embarrass me so its either I go fast with this slow engine now which is the 1600 vvt 16 valve or? I swap out... soon i will post pics its the maddest 2dr on my island.... Please reply soon!...
 
Have you looked on ebay.co.uk - you will usually find something. Its then just a question of exporting it.

I look forward to seeing the pics, your only 2 posts away now.
 
Ok I will do and I will also let you know also Please look at some of the other posts?.... i'm hoping with the help of you guys i can shut some of these mouths up down here i am avoiding trying to race but they always catch me on the road and because of the low ride and size of the jeep i go around nearly any corner at full throttle but unfortunately on the track its another thing?...... reason why i wanna bigger / faster Engine Also The pictures has to be taken of my cam so very very soon dont worry lol;)
