Wanted to start a build thread for my na suby conversion. The car is my newly acquired '73 2.0L fi. It is very clean, appearance group, 2nd owner, 88K. I currently use it as my daily driver.
   I want to do a suby conversion because I believe the overall package will have the performance, drivability, and dependability I'm looking for. EDIT: I've changed motor selection slightly and am also taking a bigger plunge by going with a suby trans, see Post #49. |
