Default TC?TC cortina 2.3 litre v6 conversion?

Just wonering if anyone has converted a 2litre td cortina (called a mark 3 over here in nz) to run the 2.3 litre v6 engine out of the later model cortina. Also, what other parts can be used eg brakes, suspension, to make it handle better?

Cheers

Plenty of 3 litre capri v6's been fitted and lots of v8 so it shouldn't be a problem , bigger brakes might not even be needed ( good idea though how do you go with warrant requirements?

I don't think any cars with the Cologne V6 were sold in Australia. "Standard" upgrade stuff would be the way to go. You might be able to get a set of engine mounts from the UK or Europe without costing too much.
