Ok!!! So here is the million dollar question!!!! If you had to do it all over again would you convert to a flat-6 or a V-8? What is easier to convert? Seems like the V-8 maybe a little cheaper. However it seems like you have to cut your firewall out… is that also true? (Please note I am no wheres close to it yet but I need a plan!)
What Trans is the best to go with? I was think of a 73-76 side shift 901 with a billet heavy duty intermediate plate from a 70-72? (this would be built as street car… NO-auto cross….) |

Only problem with the subaru 4 cylanders is they have very little tq, and to get alot out of them, you have to drive them HARD...
Its difficult to drive a turbo car just right... You tend to drive the car off the boost and drive it as a "point and shoot" situation. The 2.5 would be better because it actually has some tq... to pull you through the corner... The turbo takes a second to spool up, and if it spools up to fast, or hits too much boost, it will send you spinning... Everything has its pro's and con's.... |
