I am not looking for all out power or mileage persay.. Just more or less looking for reliable starting and running. The way she sits now.. it will crack off at most any temp with a few pump-shots, but will take a while to warm up where low rpm driveability is suffering hard.
The car is just enjoyed as a classic cruiser that turns some serious head! I would love to bump up from the 140hp to like 250hp area with some slightly better gearing just to make it a little more fun.
Also the way it is, the 2.22 gears aren't THAT bad, she still gets up and boogies with the engine at friggan idle basically. Listening to it grunt through 2nd as your going up an in town grade and hear all the cars around you downshift 2 gears is a weirdly nice feeling.. lol
I am not opposed in anyway to using another brands EFI system at all! I was thinking maybe a 5.0/5.8L ford from like 1990 would be the best bet. Easily obtainable and tuneable.. Although that is leagues above me, it would need to be outsourced likely.
Any thoughts? leads? cool articles you've read? Thanks a ton guys
