Hi George, Regarding your comment: > It's a big job.....I should have put in a high tech engine instead > but I learnt a lot out of the whole experience. At the same time, wouldnt you have had to do a lot of that work regardless of whether you did the L series, or a modern engine? So you could still use the efi L series as a stepping stone to a modern conversion, by offloading your L series work for what you payed for it (or a profit?!), and so not lost any money from that, while at the same time already having a fuel/control system already set up for adapting to the engine of your choice?? The reason I ask is this is my current train of thought on eventually getting a modern engine in, while trying to minimise the time the car is off the road by spreading out the tasks required for a conversion..... Anybody got any thoughts?!
