Looks like somebody spent a lot of money on that 16 valve conversion.

Is it for sale?

Cheers,

I like the 16's for once. It's a hell of a sleeper.

i have a theory...

375 horsepower - and no more - and you'll be enjoying the car for a long time -

as opposed to less time - but, what do i know.

Very clean install. They used a FMIC, which allowed them to keep the factory latch seup.
I don't see any provisions for additional cooling. All in all, very cleanly done.

if it was 20k I would go for it Sounds like a lot of great work, but there is nothing special about the car itself, high enough miles to not make it a "museum" piece.

Just the labor, like any other car, you can spend a ton of $$$ but at the end of the day you have to find someone that was willing to spend the $$$ for exactly the same thing, but doesn't want the fun of doing it!

As I am sure odurandina knows, money spent on these cars is a labour of love and the fun that goes into working them.
