[QUOTE="Alvin, post: 63842"] Bro Your car is already with the 2.7 eta now right? Why dun you just send it to your mechanic to get it sorted out & use that first. Then if you are happy with it do up the body & chasis, tidy up the interior & engine bay. The body work is d tough bit for an old car. Make sure you get it sorted out first. Engine & suspension is the easy part depends on what you want. So better go with the 2.7 that you hv already. Spend the money on suspension & handling. i would also suggest that you DO NOT go with 17" rims with your 4 lug as it will upset the handling of your ride unless you want to go with 5 lug. 16" is the max & its quite a good compromise of ride comfort & handling. So the 15" BBS that you hv now would be the best bet to keep on your car. Once you sorted out your rides rust spots (if its has some), then its time to thk of what kinda of performance you are looking for. Generally the 2.7L is a heap loads of fun. I believe that you will definately enjoy the 2.7. Maybe tweak it a bit like a piggy back ECU & MAF conversion with a few more extras like the petrol jets, throttle body & headers, your ride will be a potential Munster Inc. Modding is not gonna e cheap. So like i said better to have a targeted budget in mind. how much is ok. Even if you have loads of cash to spend, its still better to set a budget.
