Joe,
I have a 215 all aluminum V8 in mine, weighs the same or less than your 6 with all its equipment. Its roughly about 215 hp by the dyno here in Houston. Only thing I gave up was the center of gravity and not by very much. As soon as I get rid of this tail shifter, I think even you would have to admire the torque and driveability of the engine. I also have a 1150 lb fiberglass kit car with a 2056 in it. The V8 eats it for lunch. I try not ridicule anyone on this board, regardless of their views. I think that is one reason the board split was due to the "passionate" posts by people. I hope history does not repeat itself. This thread is done in my opinion Michael |
