Okay I have come to a point where I am in a delima. I have a '73 2.0 car with the appearance group package that has had all 911 suspension upgrades and I will also be adding GT flares. I was originally going to put a 2.8 IV in it with about 225 horses but now am considering a subie engine putting out about 325 horses or more. I have always been a purist but there is something to be said for smoking the competion through the curves and also being able to dust the muscle cars down the highways. I can get into the 2.8 for around 7000.00 for motor and tranny minus installation. I can get into the subie for about 4800.00 minus installation.
What are the thoughts and opinions out there along with the pros and cons for each. All input would be greatly appreciated. Donald (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Never mentioned is the sound of a V8 car. People do double-takes. Everybody recognizes that sound and it should NOT be coming out of that little car.

A good running smallblock chevy v8 with a nice set of headers and mufflers accelerating around 6800rpm is a sound like no other car makes. Anyone considering a v8 needs to check out the edelbrock pro-flo EFI system also. |
