BEFORE you butcher a 4 eye... (56k beware)

I'll make the same comment about both of those cars that I made about Built to Cruise...

They lack air conditioning. Just an additional topping on the cake is all.

I liken it to discovering that your PERFECT brunette isn't really a brunette at all. :shrug:

Well they both don't actually lack AC the pace car will be running a vinage air unit plumbed threw the inner fener area as to not take away from the smoothed firewall.

Heres another, its a coyote swapped ttop..

This post is the bees knees. I'm pretty stoked seeing as I just got this one owner (old lady) 80,000 mile pristine LX..... The only question now is 2JZ or Turbo 351w.....

2JZ? Really?

Get real.
Throw a Ford V8 (what almost everyone does, and for good reason) or a Chevy LS-family engine (which will piss off just about everyone here except me and a few others) in it. Leave the Japanese inline 6 to the Japanese cars. It's a great engine, but it belongs in Z cars, Supras, and the like, not a musclecar or ponycar.

My buddy had a warmed over 5.0HO in a mid-80's 2WD Jeep Cherokee a few years back. He missed it so much after he sold it, he bought another mid-80's 2WD Jeep
Cherokee a year or so ago a dropped a 2JZ into it.

Both were really unique and fun to drive, but the V8 Jeep made a much better driver. The first one would run mid-13's all day, every day and was a relatively easy swap.

The second one has gone as quick as high-12's....and as slow as high-13's and cost him twice as much money and agravation to build. Seems very finicky to tune and impossible to keep consistent. He's not ready to admit it yet, but I know he wishes he would have stuck with the V8.

I'm a purist, so any time I see a Ford, with a non Ford engine it's ruined as far as I'm concerned. But hey, to each their own. It's their money to waste.
