buy my 1990 mx6 gt , install the t3/td04e i have for it, and megasquirt it. 325 hp has been made with my setup and squirt, and guess what, thats the stock 2.2 block! screw a damn honda and all the money youd waste throwing at it. or buy a second gen camaro, but thats why im selling my car, im tired of wrong wheel drive. and it will cost you a FRACTION of the cost of any of those other cars.

whats wrong with a nissan 240? the possibilities are endless.....and yes there are alot of them around....as well as any other popular car....and 240's havent been done to death....they are reasonable cheap to build....fun to drive...and you can do anything u can think of as far as putting them on a track...drag, drift, autox, mud run(yes there is one i know of), circle track, time attack ect.....

Motor might not be very healthy if he can find an ls for +/- $4,000. He may find a good one if he looks hard enough, though.
