John Bruh Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 My 3 Idea's are down to this: ( I couldnt see how to make it a poll so can i mod do this for me). 1.) Notchback Mustang with a 03/04 Motor Single Turbo 2.) 88-92 3 Series BMW LS1 6spd Single Turbl 3.) Buick Regal--Convert to GN Clone, Duramax Diesel Swap. Which would you choose and WHY?

Orion Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Tough. I would probably go with the regal though. i love the look of those cars. Interesting choice on the deisel, as well. More unique project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 None. They would all be extensive money pits that you will eventually sell and lose your ass on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 1) Is going to get really expensive, 03/04 Cobra motors are not cheap to build. You are very limited on the power the stock motor will make. 2) Sounds interesting, could be a fun build. 3) eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 None. They would all be extensive money pits that you will eventually sell and lose your ass on. Every modded car is a money pit. The plan is to build this next car and keep it. I don't plan on selling it (unless someone offer's me the right amount once its finished and i can build another one cheaper). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to buy my buddies 318 that was perfect and swap it. (the LS1 swap was actually done very well and documented on another forum. The guy that did the swap has CNC drawings and everything to do the swap and wiring schmatics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see 99% of those kinda projects end up badly. If I was going to do a build that required that much work and money I would simply go the route AJ is going with that camaro.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Why not a turbo diesel notch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 i would go with 2 but not with a ls1 go cheaper and do a sbc 350 with twin turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found a 318 for 500. plus LS1 (stock until it blows up then ill build it) with 6spd and computer 2500 Driveshaft reworked 400 Turbo kit (i have the gate, bov, and turbo, only need piping made) $200 Wheels and tires 800 I could have very small investment in this car. The LS1 is 50lbs heavier than the stock 4cyl. It would roll out Just like sams car, but chevy powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Why not a turbo diesel notch? its still in the air. the car would require quite a bit more re-inforcement to withstand the torque. where the buicks frame would be eaiser to work with.

Not Brian Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I wouldn't build any of that shit. Money pits, they'll never run right, while cruising down the road you'll always have that one thing in the back of your mind that you know you cut corners on and you're too lazy to tear apart the million things to redo it right, blah. Just buy an f-body and get an ms3 cam with a 200 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 clone the outside apperance. My apologies. I misinterpreted the post. I love the G-bodies...so if it's not destroying an actual GN, I wouldn't think it would be a bad idea...I still vote M3 though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 1. Eh. It's been done enough. But, it's proven. And I've always thought the notch looked good muscled up. 2. Seems like a waste a beemers chassis if you're only considering being a straight line monster. 3. May not be for me, however, I'd be damn entertained seeing it go. And, given the other choices here, plus, it's not my money or for me, I'd love to see this one the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm no you know they make EVERYTHING for a fox corect? as fast as a turboed 4v will be it will ned most if not all the same stuff. If it was me I whould buy a 4v powered car (already swapped) then turbo as the wiring is a bitch, let someone else do that shit and lose money at it too. But in all reality why not do something with a car that is not seen everyday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 LSX in a g-body, make the bitch hook, and rape choke the unsuspecting. Turbo it for the bounus round and throw some people in the hurt locker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 fuck the 03/04 motor, LS1 in a notch, if you don't build it I will. Great little lighter weight drag car with a good easy to mod LS1, win win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
