Still contemplating what way to go with for a motor. I'm down to either staying with a type 4 (R.A.T.)or doing the V-8 thing. I'm not totally sold on doing a V-8 yet, it still seems a little out of character for the car(yet I keep coming back to that option, power and price I guess). I'm afraid of winding up with a "point and shoot" car. Any help?

Alot of good informaition so far. i've built a big 4 and bought a v-8 car that needed work. I also had accumulated all the parts for a v-8 car that i bought and had ready to put in when i decided to buy one with most of the work done. i'll eventually build the 327 motor for it and drop it, but, for now it ain't broken. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I've got a little more than stock 350 in it now that isn't even tuned right and it is scary fast.

You wanna upgrade? Open up the wallet baby:o Brakes, suspension, ect can be expensive upgrades no matter what motor you want. Whatever you decide, do your homework and only purchase products from vendors with a good rep. i've given up on looking for the cheap fix. it always costs me more $$ & time. Good luck with your project. |
