project Manta

[krptonite]

I have decided to start something a little different! i sold my 67 nova and got a little opel to mess with, it is a 72 manta which, although not too common in the usa they are definately rare in canada as they were not available for sale here, hoping to put a small turbo lump if possible , ecotec or nissan sr20 det etc, the car is only 2100lbs so doesnt need much motor, but dimensionally the ls1 is an easier fit! as the 4 bangers are all tall with front sump oilpans, i also want to go the irs route if i can sort something narrow enough, (50" track width!) and may need to graft new suspension on front to get bigger brakes etc, i got shawn mascoll to do a rendering and this is what he came up with, any comments appreciated
