Also bear in mind the weight of the V6 , it would make the back end very
light , and an absolute mare in the rain.
Go for either the Mi16 , or a Xantia 2.0L Turbo engine. My mate has one in
his 205, and its mental!!
I am putting an S16 167Bhp engine out of a ZX ina 205 fairly soon.
For the Mi16 , make sure you get the shortened manifolds , so you dont have
to tilt the engine though
