hey man...the conversion is a sweet set up...congrats...i must be the only person who actually thinks that it was an awesome idea hahaha.
the 8 with all its torque will pull this heavy car no worries, n considerin its a worked 1 at that, it will barely feel it lol
...the only thing i reckon would have been better...is if your old project would hav been a hemi hahaha...
but now your car wont jus look the part, it will sound it to...i mean the cars looks scream muscle...and now the motor jus emphasises it i think.
...its cool that its somethin different...i mean all these ppl sayin u should hav chucked a 1uz in it...but where is the fun in that?...thats been over-done, to many ppl hav done it already...now this is somethin new...who knows, u mite hav jus inspired a v8 conversion over here in Australia
...mite hav 2 try somethin a lil more drastic like a 572 or somethin hahaha...
nice work man and congrats again on your awesome job...and you gave some good info for the next person =]
