That's what crossed my mind.... a turbocharged motor with a bit of TLC is probably going to out do a 4.0L in the torque stakes isnt it?

However - going to a jap turbo engine to produce similar results to an N/A falcon... is it worth the fabrication (altho that's the fun part) and compliance (the not-so-fun part) hassles? And the extra 10c/L for 98RON?

Would be great idea for a track car tho!
