You can keep your V8's and Turbos...I prefer a 11K redline 
If I ever do a swap on a trailered car, it will be this one.

Been thinking about this thread a lot. I'm have delusions and hallucinations of a Shakotan styled asphalt-scrapping American-steel sled. Buick Regal with an LS-X and T56 on some widened Hiyashi Streets???

Ya got me...I only noticed it was a sunbeam cause of the emblem on the hood that's sitting on the roof
