Re: Jumbuck conversion

thanks for the advice, realy appreciate it. what engine would be the best for
torque + but also good speed. i do want to put a turbo on it so i wont something
that will handle the boost with out to much modification. But if its worth it
its not a real big thing as i am an apprentice mechanic so i got access to all
the tools, and the one that requires the least modification to the car.

thanks
Mitchell

more poke then the crappy 1.5 and will still be a sleeper.. or the proton
m21/gti, not as good as the 1.6 but is a 1.8 dohc still good fun, i had a 1.8 in

around $8K to rebuild properly.Being on P's makes it hard now to make the right

different engines. If it were me I would be looking for a GSR 93T engine doing
it up now and waiting till you come off your P's before doing the conversion.
