I am getting interested in a Suby conversion and would like some input/advice on what complete car to look for Model/Year/Options, Engine size, etc.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with above comments. However, I'm not clear as to whether you plan to buy a conversion or build one yourself. What will be your planned usage? Will you ad AC later? Will you AX with it? Bottom line is whichever Suby transplant you choose it will be a big improvement. Be sure it gets the Suby 5mt TY75 tranny, as well. The complete package. As a foot note: If your buying one that's been converted I would want to do a test drive in July or Aug. Not when it's cool outside. You want to be sure the cooling system functions properly. Suby's aren't forgiving when overheated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
