It won't be for everybody but keep in mind you could use a big aluminum Windsor head instead

Jeeze... I'd drop this into a Granada without a second thought!



Just cam across this Ghia 3.0 coupe. Didn't even know there was such a thing

Small turbo and this little thing is animal. This is the second 'writeup' I've seen for it and I'm finding myself wanting to do a project with it of some sort.

@MRaburn thinks it would be hot stuffed into a Fox Notch. I like that idea too. I suggested it for his F100 project but he's got that motor locked in already.

Reminds me of the old SVO 2.3L with a Volvo Head.

A Turbo Coupe Restomod would be badass.

I'd use an AFR 225 head



Edit:
Oh OH! And I want to see the look on the salesman's face when I tell him I only want [one] and it's for an LS motor


(not really but...)

That motor with a Windsor head in a Maverick with a 10 speed.

I wouldn't think twice about swapping one into my car, LS head and all. Can you imagine with a full road course setup, it would be an animal.
