Guest Guests Posted 26/10/08 01:06 AM Share Posted 26/10/08 01:06 AM Agreed price wise, but there is reasons- so many parts available.So many parts available because the OEM parts are low quality, and fail before they even get to their first service hence the need for so many aftermarket parts.Euro 3 what a bugger - I wouldn't buy or build a gt40 replica and fit a gm product to it, I would rather look for a early prebuilt car with a Boss engine and then twin turbo it for a easy 1000hp like a lot of yanks have done with the Ford GT.Backwards alright.I remember some guy a while back with a 10 second 2.0l turbo mk1 cortina, he went and put a chev big block in it and it went near 1 second slower.Some people you just cant tell they have to learn by there mistakes.cant wait till this guy gets nailed by a standard xt falcon or goes broke trying to keep oil up to it.SIN SIN SIN - Needs to be stoned to death.They are a stout engine from the factory, there's so many parts for them because they are a huge hit in the states in the vette's. Their aftermarket industry is 1000 times bigger than ours.........But how much better would it have driven on the street, imagine the lag it'd have with the turbo 2l as opposed to the on tap torque of the big block.

We are so far behind them its not funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaTTe Member 143 Member For: 16y 14d Location: Perth Posted 01/01/09 05:02 AM Share Posted 01/01/09 05:02 AM (edited) haha I can imagine what'd be said on a Expensive Daewoo forum.. it'd be almost a mirror of this.. 'fully sick car now that it has a GM engine..'But in reality, good on him for going to the effort to engineer something different, he obviously liked the shape of the ford, and the GM engine.I have grown up loving everything ford, and I will respect anything ford first in most cases, but that being said, I've been dedicating alot of time to a 1971 Vauxhall Bedford with a 350 chev, and a 1979 Pontiac Firebird with a 403 olds and I wouldn't change either for ANY ford.. though I would happily add a Boss 429 to the collectiondo something different regardless of what the masses think, look at the hot rodders of old, some had some WILD designs, most of you would hate it, but that just set the rodders out from the masses..I wouldn't put that engine into that body, but I still respect it.
