Re: Considerations for increasing rims 15inch to 17inch
I agree 100 percent with Muddog. Rather keep the 15 inch rims. You have a lot more sidewall space and less chance of Tyre damage on rough surfaces

Re: Engine conversion chev 4.1
I agree with Muddog.Also I would think that the straight six could be a bit too long to fit into the sfa engine bay.I installed a toyota six cylinder 7MGE into a hilux years ago and that was a really tight fit.
I would also rather consider a more modern engine for a transplant.
