      RSX302 Future--Engine Poll...

      I've had a blast with the little Twin Turbo Ford 302 in my Camaro, but I think it's time to say good-bye to it. My main concern is the future sale of the car--if that ever happens.

      Even though I did this for fun and already had the motor, I was thinking to myself--Ford guy's wouldn't buy a Camaro with a Ford in it and Chevy guy's would definitely not buy it. The biggest mind change was when I asked myself if I would buy it...I have to say that was a big NO.



      I'm kicking some ideas around and thought I would poll it.

      Since money is a factor, this plays a roll in the package. Of course the goal is to get as much horsepower as possible and lighten the front end if possible. I will use my twin turbo system that I already have. I was going to try and keep the whole changeover under $15K. Since clutch, Bellhousing/Input shaft and possibly paint will absorb $4-5K, I figure target for the engine complete should be $10K.
