It depends on how much power you "need" After looking at both over at Renegade, I would have to say that the LS is easier to install. The Suby is more in tune with the 914 theme, but really, best bang for the buck would be a regular old SBC. 283-302-327. Good power, high revvers, cheap, easy to work on.
My car has a Chevy 302, plenty of power (mid 400s) revs like crazy and with the taller gears, is very driveable on the street and highway. Mark |
