So a buddy of mine wants to sell me a 2.7 out of an old targa for $500. Supposedly this thing ran when parked. It comes complete with the CIS injection. I was going to do a big four this winter as the car currently has a cammed and carbed 2056. The car is an occasional daily driver, monthly axer, and every once in a while it will see the track. I wouldn't mind doing the conversion, ditching the injection and throw some cams and headwork in the picture. I don't really want to increase the weight of the car but this is inevitable. The car is awesome as is except I could use another 1000 rpm for some of the ax courses. If I do the conversion I will have to re-setup the car which would mean brakes and suspension. I am very tempted to go through with it. Does anyone want to talk me out of it or should I quit my crying and buy it?

a 2.7 is a light motor compared to a 3.0-3.2. |
