of course it can be doneif you want 330mm brakes, you'll need to be looking at either a hub conversion (ms65) or simmons (like me - budget $2500 for some 17" simmons)
Then you'll realise that your RA60, with it's pissy little driveline, needs some work. so then you budget $1000 minimum for a 2jz-ge w58 gbox with clutch, flywheel, etc. then you look at your little single spinner diff, and budget $300 more to buy a ma61 LSD. then you notice your rear suspension sucks, so you need to go ra65 IRS or ma61. then you realise you need to get a radiator in there to cool that bitch, and that you dont really have that much room left with a long straight 6 engine in there, so you blow another $600 minimum on a nice 2-core rad to sit in front of the rad supports. then you need thermos, 'cause no way an engine fan is fitting in there.
And I've barely scraped the surface of what is required. for the conversion alone, paying someone else to do it so you have a drivable reliable car, I wouldn't be expecting change from $15k. that's not considering engineering, which apparently in SA is stupidly expensive.
Just remember dude, there's a reason why people like me sell their RA6x (I had an ra65) and buy an ma61 to put big 6-cyl engines in there.
But if you're dedicated to your ra60, and have $15-$20k lying around to spend on it, then by all means go for it.
and to give you an idea - I've spent $15k on my ma61, and that included dong a lot of the work myself, starting with a bigger engine bay.
