My car is pretty smelly and it's rather annoying as I like to daily drive. The engine (3.0L with Webers) is probably in need of a rebuild, thus burning oil, and there are no cats. Even though I did the /6 conversion myself I'm not really interested in doing a full engine rebuild myself. Paying somebody 10k minimum doesn't excite me either.
I've always had a dream of building an electric car but that's $$$. You can also buy a brand new LS3 engine for less than 8k. I could always sell my complete 3.0L along with the /6 conversion parts to fund a different engine project. Just playing around with ideas. I might not do anything at all and just deal with it. Any thoughts? |

Converted my car to a freshly rebuilt 2.2 six with Webers, and have to say I don't much care for the smell of fuel—which is now ever present if I bring the car home and park it in the garage, and we tuned these carbs on the dyno.
I suspect the smell might be reduced, but I also suspect we've really been spoiled by how "unsmelly" modern cars are. ITBs, or something else, sounds pretty appealing, to be honest. Pete |
