Hello to all you engine conversion folks!
I am starting to plan out the next phase of life for my small block V8 75' 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img695.imageshack.us-11125-1302109310.1.jpg) As much as I enjoy driving the raw torque monster 355 small block, I am starting to crave the drive-ability & performance of a modern power train. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I am looking to get peoples impressions, who moved from the small block to a subaru engine, or other. (I know there may not be alot of you out there). Specifically I am interested in how your driving experience has changed, and any thoughts on what you would have done differently. A modern aluminum V8 with possibly an Audi trans is still a possibility, but I am liking the idea of a lighter platform. Thanx ahead of time for your thoughts! Cheers, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Matt |
