Any engine can go in any car, the car just might not look like how it used to. Have you seen the 6.0 V12 306? It's two 3.0 V6's, one in the front, one in the back and no-one could be called stupid for looking at that and saying it doesn't look the same bodywise as another 306 (it had to be widened, lengthend and all sorts of axle changes to affect the conversion.

If you want your car the be the same size and in terms of the body, look basically the same then there are only certain size's of engine that will fit in it because there is only so much room in the bay (but of course you knew this as it's common sense). The 180 can fit UP TO a 3.6 V6 'under' the bonnet but it would require huge amounts of work because of the chasis modifications/ bodywork involved.

The Alfa V6 fits snuggly under the bonnet as do a lot of the Chevvy V6's but it does mean rear wheel drive conversion which then means rear axle conversion, gearbox change, exhaust tunnel re-route........ you get the idea.

If you want A: a fast car with a different engine B: looks the same (roughly) as a 'normal' 206 GTi 180 C: goes like shovel off a s**t, then get a GTi 138 engine, spend 2.5K on compression parts, headwork, gearbox, L.S.D and all the bit's in between and for the price of say a V6 conversion, the 138 engine should be producing around 200BHP easily and the car won't weight any where near as much meaning better power to weight.

Speak with Pug1OFF (as I'm sure most people on here know about they're crazy 2.0 N/A that has 250BHP)

You'll need to at least double or treble that £ figure for all the bits in between!

Why not just use the 180 engine you already have , saves a lot of messing about switching cars or engines, just spend the money on a turbo haha it's cheaper if you want good bhp/£ ratio

Yes you can put any engine in any car. Although a BMW v12 engine and gearbox is about as long as a 206, so its not an easy swap.
I have seen plenty of swaps on 205s and 306s (twin v6, supra engine, evo engine, full cosworth 4x4). But not very many on the 206. The v6 conversion and turbo setups are the two main options.
Which way you decide will depend on what you want to spend, where you want to drive it and how reliable you want it to be.
Fitting engines from other manufacturers is in my opinion CHEATING

The v6 is immensely reliable and cheap to fit, but not many tuning options. (currently getting ITB's made for mine)
