owned an E46 330ci

currently have a '66 chevy 292

wouldn't mind getting a CJ with 258, TJ with 4.0, or FJ40 with 2F.



the Chevy 292 is getting a dual Weber induction, headers (yes, plural), optical Mallory distributor, hotter cam, oversized valves, WAY higher compression ratio,

there's the induction setup. That shit is going to be sexy.

It has the automatic. It's either the E40D or 4R70W. I'm not sure.

The 5 speed Mazda is the R2 transmission in the F-150 application. My friend had an R1 transmission on his Exploder and that was a hunk of shit. It just catastrophically blew up on him at about 120k. The turbo Rx-7's had an R5 which is a beast.

I really wish we would get a falcon here xr6 would be awesome just call it Eco boost here :-)

1/19/2011 8:19:47 AM

is that black box atop the valve cover an HX between the charge pipe and the intake tubing?

1/19/2011 10:23:55 AM

Looks like it could be. I don't know why though I mean the heat would still be ingested by the motor eventually.

1/19/2011 11:38:43 AM

Ah I hate auto trucks. Well I hate auto anything. I've had great lick sticking with manuals on my America. Trucks

1/19/2011 12:09:10 PM

I have yet to own an auto.
