Thread: 80s rebuild project ideas?

i will run it. i will, i swear.

i just dont have the money to put it in my car right now since i want to run it on a higher compression setup.

since i love cavs!

eh.... i like cavvys but i dont.....

Bio I got a new project for you... lets design a 105* 6 cylinder engine.....

..how can i design a new motor? that is crazy talk.

nah, im probably not going to make an l67 80s car anyway. sounds like a lot of work from what trannyman was saying. id rather have an ls1 GTA anyway. big cam, big heads, long tubes....awesome.

obviously i wasnt being serious haha

I'd do an LS1 and something RWD myself. I like the L67 and all, but an LSx motor is pretty badass. I keep a look out for good clean S10s or even a Miata, for a little transplant.

id never drive a miata. ever.

im not a super fan of trucks either.

LOLOL an LSx would kill a miata, all the handling they brag about would go down the tubes. And it's a womans "sport" car.

im still thinking an ls1 GTA would be badass. put an MS4 cam in that thing. cam only with 450+ rwhp? nice.

here get a buick YouTube - Buick wins by BUSES

a regal t-type or GN would be awesome. finding one in good condition for a decent price is nearly impossible.

i agree hard to find although there is one gn that rides around here on 22" wheels what a waste

also has a lift on it aagghh

this 3.8 looks mean need this in the gt lol Buick Grand National, Regal & T-Type Racing Parts

Its been done before... an LS1 Miata would clean up out there. Besides who gives a damn about autocrossing? Not me, I'd have more fun straight line myself....

bio: theres a miata w/ a 5.0 runnin' around! red.

i will not reduce myself to a miata.

Me and you are in the same boat, I would rather feel the power in a straight line. But I have driven my friends passat that he built for auto-x and let me tell you if you can drive you can have a hell of a lot of fun at an auto-x.
