hi all, hope the title cought your attention as ive got afew question to ask that need to be answered.
my situation is that i have a 68' chrysler valiant and im looking for that 'woah' factor for the car whilst being unique and having the ability to race. and seeing as everyone has converted to efi, super or turbo charged the sixes, converted to hemis or v8s, my thinking is what better to do that to dump an rb26 in
the questions i have mainly concern the ecu and wiring for the motor. in regards to the ecu i figured i could take the car to motec and get them to make something up for the motor to make it work but what can i do about the wiring loom? im guessing that i cant just hack it off so what are my options?
also, would it be possible to get some dimensions of the motor so i can know where what will sit? im already aware that the transmission tunnel will need to be modified to fit the gearbox and im ready to modify the chassis to get rid of the torsion bars to make clearance for the front drive shafts but i have to figure out where the shifter is going to sit and if im going to have to mod the firewall along with tranny tunnel.
basic engine mods such as removing the a/c and p/s wont make the motor not run either will it? im hoping to keep it as 'old' as possible.
and finally (for now), what is the best and cheapest way of obtaining the motor? buy it itself, or a half cut, import a half cut or what?
any help appreciated, thanks
