ok. ive finally figured of what i want to do, now i need help and advise
i have been debating for some time what engine set up i should run in my SA. i was debating betweem the 76 13b i have, the 76 13b ported with S5 internals, 12a with side draft and mild port, 12a same with turbo, 13bt ported, 20b(quickly decided against that) and what i think i have decided on just a series 5 n/a motor ported.
i want the car to be quick of course, but my main goal is to get into some form of road course racing. i had decided on the 13bt, but realized it wouldnt work too great on the course because id want to be pushing around 300-400whp and thatd be too much for the track. also with that setup i felt as though id have to run a wide body or fender flares. im not too fond of any of the wide body kits in the US. on a side note, theres a perfect wide body with i believe epilsons stored in a shop in my town if anyone is interested. i could probably get pics.
i think i want to run the S5 but im nto sure what porting i should go with and how i should manage it. i know carbed would be the easiest, but i doubt itd be the best? what does everyone suggest? also, all i need to do is put the front cover from my 76 13b on the engine and itll go in my SA, right? i want to run a TII tranny so i know ill have to get a custom driveshaft, but there is currently one for sale in the first gen section.
id like for the car to be fast enough i can get good times if i run it at the drag strip with all my buddies, but i want it to be a killer on the curves. i pretty much have all the suspension figured out, but any advise on that would be welcomed also. i would like to believe itd EASILY be a low 15-high 14 second car. and i wish itd be faster, but i dont want to go too far with the porting so that its not driveable.
one last thing, this WILL NOT be a daily driver.
