Anyone know what a 73 2.0 engine weighs? I am considering all my options.
Originally I was looking at a LS1 or LS2 conversion, which I really like. My 75 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) is very rust free, so I am not sure about cutting such a nice chassis. There is a parts car close to me: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/2191962145.html Thoughts??? -Jim Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Rand @ Feb 21 2011, 09:56 PM)  QUOTE(Kraftwerk @ Feb 21 2011, 07:16 PM) are you saying a 2.0 conversion requires cutting up the engine tin or bay? No. The 2.0 bolts in with no mods. [edit]oops, aside from minor holes in tin for spark plugs[/edit] The LS1/LS2 is an aluminum block Chevy v8 with 300+ more hp than a 2.0 and doesn't weigh more than a Porsche 6. That conversion requires a small notch in the rear trunk wall for the distributor. And a radiator in the front trunk. No notch for the LS1/LS2 only if your using the heavier LT1 motor. Still havent decided. 3.2 conversion is more expensive than a Renegade system. |
