Am i the only one assuming that this EB has to be equipped with a low km stroker motor to make it even remotely a good buy?

I reckon the EB in question is the CMYWPN machine. Quite a nice show pony, but 10k is alot of money.

The EB he described does exist - matching kays, price and description to one that's floating about.

If your meaning for the BA not 100% sure on the size of the job of converting it but depending where you look around ive seen xr6t utes going for $2-3g over an xr6.
IMO far more easier to get an xr6t to begin with when put into consideration the extra money that will be spent converting the na 6.
Turbocharging the AU ute is a different story, you can pick one up cheaper than a BA and then buy a turbo kit for it etc.
Depends what you want.

I really don't think that bicepboy knows what he wants advice on. First he wants a BA, then an AU then a Turbo BA then an XR8 then and XR6 ute. What's it to be? N/A six, turbo six or V8? Sedan or ute? BA or AU. Thats what you need to be asking yourself. Fair enough that you don't know much about cars, but as someone mentioned before, go and drive them all, then ask us for an opinion so you can at least take an educated guess...

As someone who wons both an AU thats modified and a BA that lead an interesting life I can say that the AU seems to be a more robust machine and presents less of a challenge to fix.
