the mount infront of the lh strut tower is further forward on the 6 cyl body. Unless u want to cut and weld the lh front of your car then it is easier to buy a magna or verada with a 6cyl fitted from factory than to convert a factory 4cylinder car.

Cheers pal, whats a decent upgrade to increase the performance other than extractors keeping it non turbo?

What you do is remove the mount on the lhs, get the one from the v6 and if you can weld half decently it will be all but undetectable.
You would also want to change over crossmembers, lower control arms, disks and calipers (the bracket is slightly larger to cater for the larger rotor)
It can be done, if you are happy with your car it is not a big deal however if you have only done bolt on mods, get another car and transfer the goodies over

Yeah, iv being looking around on the quakka and there is a few engines going about from around 200-400bucks so it shouldnt be too costly other than labour, but I herd it costs about 600bucks to remove an engine, I dont really have the equipment to do this myself. My extractors would be pointless having the 6 as I have them on a 4 atm yeah?

Cost I think 550 or something?

You could buy an engine hoist and then do it yourself. Then you'd have an engine hoist for life
