A V6 in a 4cyl is not street legal. Try swapping it out and then registering your car without pulling any strings 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In extreme cases they can borderline accept slightly higher cc but it has to be in same cyl. range. When i busted my 3.5, they told me max I can go is 3.8 V6 of modern Pajero but without altering the engine mounts. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.
