Just thinking aloud, but what engine is it? Does it fit to a standard trooper box?

Just thinking of a 3.5 v6 nova Twisted Evil

its an isuzu engine

fits a standard isuzu box, so i suppose it may take an F20

8 bolt flywheel, isnt it 8 bolt on an XE, or maybe just six lol.

cant see it being a huge problem

somethings telling me the isuzu diesel engines as per cavaliers etc had an 8 bolt flywheel, so maybe it will mate up to the 3.5s crank, thus using a cavalier clutch and plate.

only issue i can see is the fact that a longitudinal engines sump runs differently to transverse, you may have to fit baffles or better still a dry sump setup so that it will give you enough ground clearance and to fit under the nova bonnet.

the 3.5 has a short stout inlet and would be nice, just dont know the exact dimensions.

from what i can read on the pdf here, its just a rebored 3.2 isuzu engine.
