2+2 non-turbo automatic?
don't worry about speed. Go for a 5-speed manual swap later.

That is why you register in a place that has none.

I should buy a 2+2 280ZX, and build it with a small block and solid auto trans just to **** people off.

If only I could bring myself to do it. haha

thats why you go turbo and manual. then bigger piping really does = more power. in an NA a slightly bigger better flowing pipe will equal SOME benefit. but not much really.

Just drop a Chevy 350 in anything.. that's what you do if you want to be faster than ANY car out there.

LMAO!

SBC FTW! hahaha

Yeah. You should know right now that I would rather give up my left nut than to drop a 350 into anything.

Not all Chevy sucks. I just don't like the 350 SBC.. It's overused. No imagination in it.
