Pulled the plug today and purchased a 1986 3.2 motor. 114,000 miles. Will have motor gone through and start the process of getting everything I need for a smooth install. Hope to be done by the Route 66 run.
Got my inspiration from MoveQik, his car and 3.2 install is a work of art.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I know, sacrilege, but dang, doesn't an LS engine compute better now?
Power, weight, cost. Do the math. |

The math makes sense but it looses something when you put in something other than an air cooled Porsche engine. I don't mean that in a bad way but if it was just about the money and making sense, we would just drive modern cars. |

Plus I dont care much for the V8 sound, flat 6, inline 6 or straight 5's do it for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It's absolutely not the same thing anymore - it's a hybrid that when it's prepared properly is a blast to drive and ride in! A lot of us here in the States grew up with V8s singing in our ears, driving our butts into the seat backs while listening to the latest rock with our girls by our sides. It's a throwback sound in a different chassis that handles SO much better that our old musclecars... I think it's an American thing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
