Hi, basically I have calibra se6 2.0 8v. I am planning on this been my track/ fast road toy. I've been looking into engine conversions and wondering what set up to go for?

One thing I have considered is a big spec astra vxr engine 350/ 400bhp. I know this is a tough conversion due to the canbus wiring and will cost a hell of a lot but do you think it would be worth it if it was FWD? Obviously a diff would help this but I wouldn't want to build something and be disappointed.

Selling the calibra isnt an option either it is going to be this car.
