solid 1st post

[86_325_GMW]

engine was currently in a 1989 z24 cavalier. 500+ hp power wasnt suitable for the fwd application. ill have lots more pictures up soon, more of a proper build thread, im just figuring out the picture stuff.

well at least its going in a real car. First time ive seen a v6 swap in a e30

It's about time someone does a V6 swap!

I dunno . . . I prefer my 6 Cylinders in a straight line.

Very different and creative.

Interesting, but why not a 4.3L all aluminium V6?

[86_325_GMW]

the 4.3l motor is a boat anchor compared to the 3400. this motor (back when it was mostly stock (10psi small t3/t4) made 358 wheel horse 365 ft.

[Van Westervelt]

Only in Wisconsin... But thats okay with me!

Finally someone can say their car has a v6, and when people chuckle, they can pull this card. :)
