I think this to now and again. with alot of time to fix oem errors, the smallest of subes (not the justy) has been a blessing in disguise. the highway is home for the 3 main and normal sized tread..inn fact, it is outright amazing to speak of facts after 500 miles of action.
the diesels today can be hacked into strong enough with turbos galore at a popular auction site.even the old rabbits that tortured with top speeds of 12 mph.
If I have a chance, it may be a future project..
but I am v8 at heart, and know from my own past, there is plenty smart enough. (a p71 cop car comes to mind for newer chance to make a sipper)
other than that. avoiding transverse and inline fours is my uniqueness. some get by with it.. I do not. it is never fun. hope my 2 cents helps.
