Default AM Vantage

Seeing as the Vantage uses a further developed version of the same engine, has anyone raided some of the bits from the AM catalogue for increased performance / displacement?

Not that easy..... I have looked but not much can be used, it would be possible to use the crank, maybe, but the cost is phenomenal and you would need the rods and pistons, you could get 4.7 litres but the engine timing would be altered and preferably you would also want the heads, so basically the complete engine but then you got to run it...... Too much hassle and money for little gain, you would be better off putting a LS engine in

The manifolds are a work of art in tubular stainless but again the XK steering stops you
