Well people after years of planning and thought Ive FINALLY got an XP ute, which I plan to modify quite a bit.
So Im in need of some opinions on the drive train, Ive decided a V8 is too ordinary and costly so its onto a six.
Proposal 1 I have a 250-2v and celica 5 speed fitted, use that with a stronger rear. This is already in the car and set up, albeit a little roughly.
Proposal 2 use an OHC 4 litre form and AU with VCT and borg warner single rial with stronger rear.
Problems with #2 is that the injection manifold will not fit in the bay so I propose to make a tubular intake for one or two carbs. I plan to retain the VCT systems and the alloy sump.
The VCT engiens are rated at 172kw which is quite good even when compared to a V8, I can get a bellhousing to mate up to the BWSR which I have, and the el type rear is probaly the go.
Anyn thoughts?
