In reading a lot of your responses to people's questions I have noticed your knowledge of the I6. I bookmarked the pages you linked to where you are moderator but haven't had a chance to explore them yet (I'm sure there's a wealth of info on them). So be prepared for a lot of ?'s on the 200
Let me also preface everything with the thought that I am not trying to mod my 200 to be a V8 killer (although that would be cool) I just like the idea of having a peppier than stock setup. So where some people would say just start with a V8 car ... I would rather keep the 200 and have some fun with it. I am just a fledgling gearhead anyway and the 200 is fun to work on.
Now to my first question...
You sparked my interest on a T5 conversion. How expensive a prospect is this? My 66 has the stock C4 in it right now but you said the T5 bolts up nicely. I would probably try to do this next year as my wife and I are househunting right now, but I thought i'd start my homework and parts shopping.
My current status on the 66 is:
stock 200
Holley 1bbl.
Pertronix ignition with flamethrower coil
K&N filter (duh)
3 row rad.
stock exhaust (had to remove the Clifford 6 into 2 headers temporarily - the header w' port divider is in great shape still so I'm not getting rid of it - it's just off for now)
Firestone 215 60/14's all around
Splitfire plugs (they were free so no laughing) with wider gap
If i'm just looking for some more pep what would be the next logical step mod-wise?
Sorry to barrage you with this lengthy message but you've kind of renewed me here
Thanks a ton
Brett
