[DML] Re: Oldsmobile 307 Engine in a D?

[Marc A Levy <malevy@xxxx>]

Why do all of that work for just 200HP? That seems silly. 

I would say that if you are going to do a engine transplant, you would
want more of a improvement. Especially if the 307 is a 8 cylinder (I
assume it is). Heck, you could get one of those new 222 HP Nissan
motors, and that is 6 cylinder! Better yet, the Buick 3.8 Grand
National motor is over 300HP from 6 cylinders!

You may want to consider some less expensive modifications to increase
HP, like the "euro" setup that has been discussed here, and can be found
on the DOC website.. Or, a turbo setup.
