[DML] Re: Engine Conversions?

Dont think that would be a good idea. The D is a fairly heavy car for its 
size by todays standards, and the 2.0litre honda engine produces less than 
150 ft lbs of tourqe. Sure it will scream down the highway, but around town 
would drive you crazy. Personally I always thought that the mitsubishi 
eclipse engine 2.0 litre turbo would be great. it has more tourqe (205 lbs) 
at about 2000 rpm. great for around town and it is 210 HP. it is also 
easily modded. co-worker with one is dynoing 270 at the wheels with only a 
few mods. Dont know if it would fit due to it being an inline, but I have 
been waiting for someone to drop a BMW M 2.9 litre I6 into a car (240 HP?). 
anyways i like the 4.3 idea. that car must move!
