it seems simple because you forgot step one, talking to an engineer, who will probably tell you its not legal (depending on where you are and what car your converting)

I thought sigma's were heavy enough for the conversion?
But I suppose different states have different rules.....

I suppose you could put whatever you want, in whatever want, if you put the time effort and $$$ to go with it.

im pretty sure as long as its safe and not over powered and you got all the brakes and shit to support it you should be right,

Hey mate check members ride for 77GalantV6

Dean has already got a Galant with the Holden V6 in and fully engineered
(in N.S.W)

I would buy the Supercharged V6

Engineer without Charger, and then fit later

Thats if the engineer says no to the Blower...But try with it first :)

In both NSW and QLD.
if you have 4 wheel disc on your sigma/scorp.
You don't need to upgrade the brakes (according to pat Gardner and the engineers i briefly spoken too).

But you'd be pretty silly not too. Ihaven't forgotten about puttign up the photos of the kit. just haven't had a chance yet
