Default Barra conversion Melbourne

Hi All

Looking for a place in Melbourne that can do the removal of a stock Barra and swap for a turbo.

I have funds approval from the Mrs for a project. I miss my TL50 and F6 I've had so I thought why not the 2 together. So I'm on the prowl looking for a BF fairlane and convert to a barra turbo to look factory fitted.

So looking for a place that can do the engine swap so the engine bay is complete and I'll probably do the other bits.

If you can help out with places as I am working out how much for engine and install to work out a rough budget.
Cheers

So do you want to buy an old BF Fairlane and convert it to a Turbo (paying someone to do so)

Can I ask why? looking at some of your previous Rides

You could ask Maxx Performance. They have videos on Youtube of an E Series Barra swap.
