Re: How does this 2.8 sound?

Ok sounds like I will have to stay in the V6 family. A 3.1 or 3.4 are basically the same price not to mention they are in stock. I guess what I need to do next is see if I can get one of them to...

Re: How does this 2.8 sound?

Re: How does this 2.8 sound?

To be honest the 305 is cheaper by a few hundred BUT I will need all new accessories, intake, etc. and at least the bell housing for the V8 T5. Since what I really want is a cruiser the V8 would give...
