    Yeah, I can't imagine how they'd get 300hp out of a naturally aspirated m20.

    Still sick though. I'd like to know what they used to get it to 3.2l.

            Crankshaft and rods from an S52, which is 3.2L.

                Can't anybody appreciate it for what it is without nagging about the power figures? Have you build a 3.2L M20 before? I didn't think so, so you don't know what that motor is capable of.

                  I do. I think it's more of a "if you make a claim, be polite enough to back it up" thing to me ;)

                    And how does it hurt anybody to estimate HP? I am sure the car is a beast, they are happy with the power it makes, and it really doesn't matter what it dynos. Because dynos don't mean shit anyways.

                      Josh -

                      "Pretty please" on posting at least an engine bay shot, if there was one. B&N is 40 mins. from my place.

                      It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                        They have it at the grocery store (Sport Compact Car). I took a look at Fred Meyer a while back since my friend told me about it.

                            i second the scan request. ...the closest B&N to my location is a 3 hour drive. a scan of the article would be awesome!

                            and the grocery stores don't carry almost any car mags
                            ...what hasn’t been done to an m20 yet?
