Pulled the plug today and purchased a 1986 3.2 motor. 114,000 miles. Will have motor gone through and start the process of getting everything I need for a smooth install. Hope to be done by the Route 66 run.
Got my inspiration from MoveQik, his car and 3.2 install is a work of art.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I know, sacrilege, but dang, doesn't an LS engine compute better now?
Power, weight, cost. Do the math. |

The math makes sense but it looses something when you put in something other than an air cooled Porsche engine. I don't mean that in a bad way but if it was just about the money and making sense, we would just drive modern cars. |

Plus I dont care much for the V8 sound, flat 6, inline 6 or straight 5's do it for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
