Yeah, firewall chop on all those. Impressive, but not something I'd want to own and maintain.
I'm going to back pedal a bit here and introduce one more option:
I've got nothing against pushrods. I'm not a fan of non-crossflow heads, but with the weird space constraints on the 140, I'm starting to think about doing a turbo b20. A basic 2.3 build with a small turbo would make plenty of power. I could fab it all up with the stock engine, get it running and de-bugged, then drop in a built engine and turn up the boost. I just want a fun vintage street car that can bomb some gravel roads. Can anyone recommend a good b18/b20 performance parts supplier that's NOT VPD?
Bore a B20 so its round, fresh holes..Comp 11:1 after improving the roof to wall intersection and unshrouding the big valves. Better---but not insanely heavy rods ..and this cam under the table, IPD oil pump relief valve spring--Now you could rev the thing
better gearbox..T5 with 2.95 first.....and 4.88 axle
You want to play on gravel roads then a top speed in 4th of around 100-105mph is plenty..save 5th for cruising there and back.
