Slant 6 225 swap

either way you go it will be alot of work. a nice set of rearend gears such as 3:55s will really wake your car up. there are some wicked turbo slant sixes out there, check out youtube. if you want to do the V8 swap, then go for a 360 over a 318. it wont be any more work to install it in your car and you will have quite a bit more power. you gotta realize, it gets expensive, you are also competing with cars that have about 40 years of technological advancements. a car with half the motor can make twice the power now a days right out of the box.cars are alot lighter weight now. basically their power to weight ratio is hard to contend with. not trying to scare you, just trying to let you know what you will be in for. anything you want can be done if you have the funding and ambition. i personally am lacking in both anymore. my opinion is if you didnt do anything to your scamp , it is still way cooler than an 08 toyota even if it is slower. get yourself some nice rims and paintjob if you need one and cruise it. learn about your car and gather all the parts you want over time, then when you are ready, get some buddies over and tear into it and get er done over a couple weekends. lots of smart people on here who have done whatever you decide to do , dont be afraid to ask lots of questions. welcome!
