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?
