It had a 2.2 ohv in it.
Come to think of it, it had almost bald michelins on it when we got it and cornered ok. The new tires were goodyear eagle h2's and it was horrible. I tried pressures from 30 psi to 45 psi and it was still bad. My mother in law wore those tires out and put goodyear viva 2's on it, I think. Maybe the goodyears are garbage.
I have talked it over with my wife and we are both split on the idea of a mid engine conversion. It would be nice to get everybody in the car, but it would balance out better and be more fun with a mid engine.
She asked if it would be able to pick the front end up with the mid engine.
She is so much fun!
