Whew Doggy.. Nice link!
But I wasn't about to attempt a total engine replacement yet! :D
I'm still in some planing stages, but I hope the engine that's in it will last several years. Whenever it does die (and presuming the car itself is still in good enough shape) I might attempt a more powerful engine, hell I'd love a nice viper engine in there.. but that's a bit out of my league (If it could be done or not, I don't know.. but hey, all good ideas come from somewhere right?).
