Sorry, couldn't catch that article and it might already be said in there, but how much is the weight difference between two engines?
It's logical that V6 weights more than R4, so what steps have You taken for improving suspension?
If only front suspension is modified, then rear end would be very light and car will take good action with oversteering, cause traction at rear is heavily reduced... As it's shown on first and third picture in this topic (rear end is lifted)...

Weight difference between ford V6 and lada 4 cyl engine is about 35kg + gearbox which is steel in ford and alumium in lada (weight difference is big ? )

I dont remember axel weights, but car was quite good in balance between front and rear axel. Maybe 600kg/500kg. Car own weight is now 1100kg. (without driver, include 39L bensin in tank)

Front suspension components are from volga and lada niva. Rear suspension is from lada 2102 and that is the reason why rear looks so lifted. Now it is much better, (i cut 2.5 rounds from rear springs)

Car is quite good to handel even in higher speeds. But still i have do some changes next winter.

This car is never ready.

Much more power and about one litre bigger engine than in original 2101 1200. It means much bigger radiator, of course.

Ladas radiator looks too small so better one comes from chevrolet niva. It is light (aluminium and plastic), bigger and quite easy to fit in ladas engine room. It needs only minor modifications.

Not difficult for me.

Any questions about car or mobifications? Pilt
