I just wanna know if I can run a powerglide in it and if I can convert to solid rear. If so I know mid 8s shouldnt be a problem. Ive given away enough already
Whats going to happen with the civic?

i say the s13 and an rb. i would love to help you work on the methanol or maybe something more severe. or see about maybe a q45 motor and nitrous the fuk out of it...
i also say drop a gsr in the civic put on the regular shit and sell it then. sell your motor to someone that is willing to pay for the time and quality of it.

Only problem with the Q motor is the 500 pound weight penalty over the 4 cyl. Only 1 power adder allowed on v8s also.

Why are you wasting time with all this water-cooled stuff. Just pick yourself up a old bug or dune buggy and slap in a 2L turbo aircooled motor. 12s should be easy.. Thats what I plan on doing in the future.

He needs 8s.

Keep in mind he is looking at a class featuring Craig Paisleys Supra Steph Papadakis The other Steph and her ECOTEC Cavalier.... its not a cheesecake class. None of them are anymore.

Ah I see the dilema now. Hmm Im not sure if aircooled VWs have hit the 8s yet or not. I know there are some that are very close but they are pretty much all out dragsters (ie. funny car style or rail) and VERY expensive.

Ill go back to my corner now.
