I wont ever ditch my hatch, , but i still dont know if i should keep my 01 sable or the 89 coupe, cuz you know how bad winters are around here, if i keep the coupe, i will definatly do work on it tho.

What are your motor plans? they better warrant those slicks

[roadboy240sx]

mine is proly gonna be an rb of some sort, the black one with the slicks is my dads and he is thinking 318

[Logan76]

that would be sweet, I love small cube smallblocks, you can rev the hell out of them and they love it.

[roadboy240sx]

ya hes been talking about sens he got it, when he is gonna do it, i dont know?

[2ndnissan]

Let us know how that 318 swap progresses. I'm a big Mopar fan..have had one 68 satellite and 2 65 Barracudas. A 318 or 340 in a 240 is something i've been thinking of trying..a 273 would even work for me!!
