Okay so I have a Buick 215 v8 in my 70 914. It is a low mileage rebuild & is putting out 260hp supposedly. That is what I was told when I bought it. Going by my foot I think a little closer to 2-220hp realistically. IT had a few thousand miles on the rebuild when I bought it. I had some issues with the radiator & overheating. I blew a head gasket & when I had it replaced the mechanic said it looked like a fresh build. I probably have a few thousand miles. I love the weight of it as I still sit just under 2200lbs. It really feels like a good area to be in with it. Problem is it is such a deep motor & it comes into my cabin a few inches because of the water pump. There are ways to get around it by going with a remote electric water pump. I have extra parts for it. A spare frozen 215 along with a complete FI system off a 3.5 rover. It is supposed to be a bolt on deal but when I finally got my motor back in I didn't feel like screwing with it. Okay far to much information for this post.
Here is what I am wondering. I like my car & the other upgrades I have made to it. Should I try to sell my motor complete with everything for the conversion? Should I just sell my car complete as is & start over? I do have a nice 74 I was going to put a Suby in. I could just do the LS1 in it instead. Thing is I will need some cash to get the LS1 & a bunch of the parts for the conversion.
