> I'm just kicking around the idea at this point, but any comments welcome. The majority of your costs for an I4 conversion will be in the carrier bars, oil pan, bellhousing, etc... plus the things you have to fab (exhaust). A good running engine (RV Dgifant or even ABA) will cost you ~$600 complete, including wiring and accessories and product much better power. Somewhere on line there's a horsepower / torque chart that shows what works best. I'd either keep the fox while doing the transplant or sell to finance. In VA, you couldn't even get $1500 for an RV Golf, much less for a Fox on the street. john |
