Subject: Re: Why do you drive/conversions
All IMHO...
1. People who ask this question are like children who wonder what the big
deal is about
sex...
2. If you have to ask, you probably haven't done it. And if you did it, but
didn't
enjoy it, you probably didn't do it right (and should keep trying).
3. And people who drive REALLY fast cars who ask this are probably too silly
to realize
that it MUCH more fun to drive a slow car fast than drive a FAST car slow...
4. People who cast asperisions on LBC reliability should see the second half
of #2....
5. And finally I'm a hot rodder since childhood but reliability should be
the last reason
to do an engine conversion. If you can't get a LBC engine to run right (and
they all
have potential for a lot more power), you probably don't have what it takes
to
fabricate a proper conversion....and then get a junkyard Toyota, V6, or
Small Block
Chevy engine to run right....
6. Then again, if you want a TR6 that runs a sub 13sec 1/4 mi --- GO FOR IT!
WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
I have a stock Norton Commando (TORQUE) for when I want to do that....(If
only I could,
as a soon to be dad...)
My $.02...
