Well, offroading, it has plenty of balls with the low stock gearing on the tranny. There's always plenty, but I'm not going to blow hot air up your skirts....you have to keep these in-line 4s revved up to get good results. I had my doubts when I first bought this vehicle, but it always surprised me when I got it offroad......did I mention that driving home is offroading to me? Hell yes, it performed like you would expect from any good Syncro. Yes, it clips along at 75+mph, no problem. It's just plain reliable...but not exciting enough for me. That's why it's for sale...then I get to move to a new, Syncro project. Yes, I would consider you to do the SVX conversion. I have the engine and harness, and, of course, the van. Pmail me if you are interested....... Damn, I need an excuse to head up your way.........
Gracias, Miguel |
