Waiting for the rain to stop...  Group: Members Posts: 1,068 Joined: 4-September 10 From: PNW Member No.: 12,137 Region Association: Canada  |
I have an 8 in my car right now, looking at possibly doing a 3.2 six. I have a 3.2 in my Carerra and really enjoy it. The plan would be to use a regeared 901 with the 3.2,locked out 1st etc. Obviously this is a pricey undertaking, am I going to be disappointed power wise? The only complaint I really have with my 8cyl is the transaxle. Not geared ideally. But, putting a flat six in the car has always been a plan.The car is strictly my fun little hotrod, no track,no AX.
Opinions please! Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

It may be easier to solve the "gearing" problem by sourcing a 930 4 speed trans.
