Happy Father’s Day gentlemen.
I just drove a ‘74 2.0 car from central OR down the coast back to SoCal (great trip, car was totally reliable) and somewhere on a single lane carving through the redwoods outside Eureka I wondered “yeah, the extra power would be nice but would it make the car feel heavier”. So,is there a trade off in perceived weight or having the car be less eager to dance that comes with a /6 conversion? My intention is to keep whatever car I covert a narrow body and subtle so built GTs aren’t really the best point of feedback. Thanks! |

Tdskip,
I would go with the 3.2 that you have and just put a Steve Wong Chip in it. You will not be sorry with the performance. Sell the 2.7 to get the money to do the conversion. I think the 2.7 will need more than the top end as the thermal reactor cars have stud problems a lot of the time. My first ride in a six was in 1979 from a buddie that had a 3.0 with injection, stock body Carrera front end, 6s x 16 all around and all I can say was we took a right turn at 55 or so and while I thought we would crash, the car just handled it.
