new engine options..., don't need one but T4 or SBC... Options

[scottb]

so what are the pros cons for a home build?

my car runs great, handles great and needs nothing but some cosmetic stuff and a bit of body work/paint to deal with a couple of rust bubbles. that being said, i want to tear it apart and mess with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

lacking a nice tub here is the north - rust - east, i must mess with what i got. so starting with an engine, i can find a rebuildable sbc lying on the side of the road depending on the neighborhood. a good ga case T4 is another story. ya ya ya, the conversion stuff and all that but there would appear to be a number of helpful folks right here.

not planning on doing anything in the near future. gotta buy some other toys first (bigger compressor, welder) then build an engine and convert if needed.

won't be doing any pca only race porsche powered stuff. just want to have big bang and long term stability. both platforms will provide i am certain, just want to hear the stories from both sides....

I got a lot of positive comments from folks at GAF on the work...even though Frank was built primarily to piss off the 356 crowd.....it's now gotten to the point that I'm gonna mold in the fender flares and give it a REAL paint job.....

Anyhow....bottom line....find someone else's project and ship it if you have to....

Don't do anything to it. Man that thing is GREAT!
Maybe a bigger amp to drive that sub and shake the flares.
