Losing my mind...  Group: Members Posts: 2,476 Joined: 26-May 06 From: Charlotte, NC Member No.: 6,073 Region Association: South East States  |
Yep, Huey is getting a winter/spring upgrade to it's final (hopefully) engine - a 3.2 liter fuel injected from a 87 carrera. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) After driving a few 3.2's, that was always the engine I wanted to eventually get.
So...all this time I have been upgrading/changing engines that were 1) smaller, and 2) carbuerated. Other than the obvious of check it all out while its out of the car, etc. I know that the best way to make it fit is to flip around the intake. Other than that??? Anything special I should know, do, forget, etc?? thanks for any help! |
