So currently my 70's coup is a straight 6 with a 3 speed manual. i want to go with a v8 auto. at first i wanted to throw a 351 in but im feeling thats to heavy for the car i also heard there was more aftermarket parts made for the winsor. i just want to get some of your opions on what you would put in. i want some horsepower for sure. my hard headed neighbor says no matter what i do i wont be able to bet him in a race with his 93 talon turbo charged. so i have to rub it in his face.

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahaahhahahh!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BS! You can totally take him! Whats your budget?

 

a 351 will fit no problem, its just that to convert to a v8 from an i6, obviously other then the engine itself, your gunna need new motor mounts, new tranny, and a new rear axle, at least an 8inch ford, also ned brakes to handle the v8 power. its a very expensive process

 

whats a talon turbo

 

its this little AWD econ car, with a turbo, without it they are slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

Its a Mitsubishi Eclipse sold by Dodge. Same body, same parts, same everthing down to nuts and bolts and interior trim. Same thing with the 3000GT and Dodge Stealth. Made by Mitsubishi with Mitsubishi drivetrain and everything else, but wearing Dodge logos and sold by Dodge.

 

I just looked up some info on it. The thing weighs 2500 lbs and only makes 210 hp with the turbo. It shouldn't take much to beat that.

 

Seriously? Our old Ford truck could out do that any day, even with 2 dead cylinders. Lol...

I was challeneged by my grandmas husband to race once my cars done. They got a 98 bmw beamer.

 

With a minor add in boost those things can be surpringly quick. I worked on one that a guy just had a boost controller, wow, that thing was quick.

And whats a BMW beamer??? Is that a special model? [8D]
-P.

 

You could probably beat him with your 6cyl.
