My 3kgt was awesomely fast without really seeming fast. I've posted before about what it cost me to keep it running, so I won't get into that again. I will say that I will swap the whole shebang into something else someday, like a second gen camaro or a tvr. I think I could get most of that engine compartment cleaned up running standalone and rerouting all the hoses. Someday.
That's a heavy engine with a lot of flaws to bother swapping in to something that will take more effort than just bolting it in.
Eh, it should be used in something. It was really a great cruiser .

For sure, but getting to it is another story! Problem area? This picture.
A similar view is exactly what prevented me from buying an Audi S4 in the twin-turbo 6 cylinder version. I was this close to making a deal, and them I opened the hood.
Nothing to add, but I saw my first 3000GT-VR4 yesterday. I passed me on the highway and at some point I got stuck behind it on the freeway. It seemed like it had an intercooler and piping on it big enough for a semi.... sounded scary.

I dont like the DOHC twin turbo engine bay so i bought a SOHC and a single turbo for it.
Some assembly required.
