both motors have the aw11 distributors Ifound some regrind cams the guy says 255 duration and 7.67 lift the duration makes sense to me but 7.67 lift ? is this good. I am an experianced engine builder have built many small block ford motors and am very good at porting heads I have a couple cars that run but I have always wanted this car since it was new when my sister in law brought it home in 87 and smoked the rabbit gti that me and my brother had been working on and we thought it ran. how do i tell if it is gts it doesent say it anywhere and I even have the original window sticker . anyway I really dont want a race car I already have one of those just some bolt ons and be dependable all of the suggestions I have gotten from you guys soun great and dooable it also has real clean interior and some american racing rims that look like the 80s corvette rims with new tires so I am gonna spend most of my money on parts for swap and bolt ons I already bought a gasket kit and water pump I still need a clutch and timing belt and tensioner pulley 1 is rusted and the other is the original I dont want to do it twice so I must collect parts I would post pics but I dont know how.
