hey guys

im NOT saying that ive decided to put a 4 banger in the rambler .im exploring all options... research...yes chris and i talked about different combos. i have no problems putting somthing lighter that makes great power... hell id like to find out what the supra 6 turbo engine is lbs. vs small block chevy with aluminum heads...like i said i havent made any plans yet .. just though id share the fact im researching other option......my car is light someone asked how much it weighs.....i believe it will come in around 2500 lbs or less.car was 2600 lbs stock.i have removed alot of weight from the front end.my whole suspension is as light .total weight is probably less than my old steering box . im just thinking if i could save about another 100 plus pounds off the front end and get some good power it may be worth the research.im also using other lighter parts= my bumpers and seats are alot lighter.ever grabbed an old bench seat?takes two people to lift it.so ive chunked some weight..THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE CAR IS TURN KEY GO ANYWHERE AND IT BE REAL FUN TO DRIVE.DRIVEABILITY IS IMPORTANT...IM NOT TRAILERING THIS CAR .IT IS GOING TO BE DRIVEN!!!! ANYWAY...NO MOTOR HAS BEEN CHOOSEN...NO WAY IN HELL WILL THIS CAR HAVE A "FART CAN EXHAUST"
SCOTT THANKS FOR THE LINKS TO THE OTHER "DIFFERENT" COMBOS...
THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT GUYS...
STAY TUNED..
