Happy Father’s Day gentlemen.
I just drove a ‘74 2.0 car from central OR down the coast back to SoCal (great trip, car was totally reliable) and somewhere on a single lane carving through the redwoods outside Eureka I wondered “yeah, the extra power would be nice but would it make the car feel heavier”. So,is there a trade off in perceived weight or having the car be less eager to dance that comes with a /6 conversion? My intention is to keep whatever car I covert a narrow body and subtle so built GTs aren’t really the best point of feedback. Thanks! |

I like the smaller 2-2.4 only because the entrance fee is much less allot of times not required will be a front oil cooler thus saving you 1500-2500 off the bat. The 3.0 or 3.2 are ideal though from a longevity standpoint. |
