Aww.,...be nice, Bartdude.
There's all sorts of ways to build power.
Turbos are just another.
It's not always so much about dollars alone.
It can be about how
many MORE dollars. For
instance-
You've got a nice, running 258-powered
Gremlin. You'd like more
power. But you've already got a good chunk
invested in the car.
Rather than yank a perfectly good mill,
wasting the portion of funds
it accounts for...a turbo might be a good
choice.
It's certainly less effort than finding and
installing all the needed
V8 components..including buying a V8 motor
and tranny...and
rear...and springs....and...
It's also likely cheaper than the 4.0L swap
I'd prefer to do, for
which you've got to locate a good 2WD donor
(if you want the
4speed auto, too).
Another value is in simply doing things
differently....something
we AMCers can all appreciate.
[But SBC swaps.....that's not
hot-rodding. That's surrender. :) ]
