Greetings!
I'm a new member currently looking for a M-II project car. I've been visiting this and other M-II sites for a few weeks now, reading the archived messages and gleaning a lot of good information. Much expertise in evidence here, not only from the messages but also visible in the pics of your cars!
The M-II project I have in mind is an autocross (SOLO 2) car, 2.3 EFI, or possibly a 2.8 V-6 carbureted, that is also streetable (but won't be a daily driver). I've about decided on a coupe (for torsional rigidity purposes), and I want to keep the car very lightweight. My question is, is there any particular year or years of M-II to either avoid or actively look for in my search? I understand there were some changes after 74 that make V-8 conversions easier, but that is not my objective. I'm just not familiar with any year-to-year changes that might affect my choice.
Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer!
