Why would anyone want 71 hp when a straight b6 would get you 80

The 4v v8 out of the mark 8 mated to a 2000 continental transaxle gosh that would be devastating under a festiva hood..Originally posted by old yellow View Post

I think a rear turbo 6g72 from a 3000gt would be slick. They had a 6 speed in the last years it was made

Stock boost, those 2 ton cars felt terrifically fast.

I know where you can find all the parts for that build if you stick with twins up front. They really don't take any extra space...they were super block huggers.Originally posted by bhearts View PostComment

That's the bad thing about most of us. Awesome ideas and not enough money to make them happen lol. The 3000gt idea is probably more doable than my idea and is easier to get power from. I can dig it.Comment

It would definitely require making a lot of extra space. They are very large engines. I think if you got all the stuff to fit up front, it wouldn't be that much more work to get a custom drive shaft and actually utilize the AWD as well. But frankly, really stripped down 3/Ss can weigh like 2800lbs...and by the time you get all that Crap in a Festiva, you're probably up to 2500 anyway. I think more powerful and tunable FWD 4cylinders would be the way to go.Originally posted by 14carrot View PostComment
