I think this thread is heading 54 steps forward.

3.6 liter v8 with 200hp. hmmm sounds like a great engine!

Dude you just have to let it breathe.

You have thor confused with me.

I'm a lot closer to having a mullet though..

350 SBC with a Edelbrock 600 CFM carb.

Let the mullet flow.

With soft, supple OEM tape, who needs glue?

Because you want people to stare between the cases and think a bull rhino just dumped a load of nut-paste in there over how awesome your engine is.

Tape is only for those stealth types who are building epic sleepers. :giggle:

Fortunately, I hardly ever drink. So I can't blame poor judgement on that..

Motor A is a 4-banger from a '74 2002tii. Lot's of patina on that one.. ha.

Bah. I was thinking it could be an M10.

S38 should have a DOHC head ;)

Hey man, one of these nights you'll be drunk, maybe just got a new credit card or two and feel like impulsively starting a streak of fiscal irresponsibility... and it'll be too late.

Oh well. I was thinking single cam, double head when you said that but the only other inline motor I can think of that would put out that much is a modified S54/S38. Can't tell what motor A is either, but given the non-serpentine nature of the belts and the M20 era look I'd call it an S38.

Ha, that's roughly $27k US! That motor wouldn't suite this particular E30. It would be nice in my E36 M3 though :). The motor I will be running will make roughly the same crank horsepower (360-380ish) and be a LOT easier to drive on the street.

Hey. I'm JUST sayin'.

Cloth tape > crystal meth

How many gears will the gearbox being used have? 5 or 6? And how much does the gearbox weigh?

Yes, and the cloth tape is an equally expensive habit. You've gotta pay if you wanna play..

The gearbox used will most likely have 5 gears. Still pending though. A friend of mine has a Euro E36 Evo 6-speed box and an S54 6-speed box. I've been trying to pry them from him for a while but haven't had much success. I don't really have much need for overdrive with this car and I'd like to keep the weight down so those are a couple of reasons why I'm not terribly keen on using the 6-speed box.
