Hello fellow rotor heads. My question is, is it really worth spending the money in a 6 port motor or should I look for a 4 port motor? The car has 115k miles , does not smokes and I would like to do some porting, eliminating the fuel injection and installing a weber or a Holley. I only pay $1150 for this car and in great shape and I got it from the only owner.



Please,give me some recomendations in what will be the best thing to do. I have a turbo motor but is for a 190e Mercedes that I will be working on. The benz is lighter and stronger and the turbo motor fits perfect. Please no heart feellings but I want to do something different.



Thanks in advanced.

Red, 5spd.(of course), Gray int.,.....etc. However, I just replaced the battery and as I was cleaning the cables I find out that one cable is ALUMINUM! What? Yup. I think this previuos guy was an electritian back in the 70's when they use to put aluminum wiring in houses, he took advantage and did the same thing in the car. Crazy! I yank that sucker out and put the real thing.

The car runs good. Am going to need clutch soon. A/C works. am.fm cassette with equalizer(that sucker is going strait to the dumpster). Tires are find. Ohh! I think this guy drove it into something cuz it look like it made a big wheelie and opened the tires on landing, not that much but if you look close you can tell. Bushing are mess up. Paint job is fair but still shines.

Ill put pics this week.

See ya ladies.

The 13b with fuel injectors are a cool set-up. you might want to stick with them. your spendineg money rebuilding it why spend money on a racing beat intake manifold and carb. Also if you ever want to sell it you might get a higher price from a pureist....



I guess i see so many dawm s4 and s5 engines the gsl-se intake runners look sorta cool...

Force to sell car. Some came up and sadly am going to have to sell the car. It's in the classified section. I still have a turbo motor for some else later. Am not getting out. Is just some thing personal that came up. If any one interested, don't hesitate to call, e-mail or page me.



Thanks
