I'm not trying to flame, just give him a heads up about what's actually involved. I don't get the brand association like some people (recall a certain jeep thread on here lol). Anyway I've seen high powered Isuzu v6s but they're completely one off builds on standalone engine management. Not a junkyard engine hehe. I'm not doing it to harrass or be a jerk. Just really hate when people act on incomplete or bad info.
And it seems like he might be able to pull it off from what I've seen and I agree with what you said about him being disappointed at that point.
