so what do I want to look for?
I'm leaning towards for a 4.3 tbi and K-case 700r4.
they're cheap, everywhere, simple to work on and with the 700r4 I get low 1st and OD, trade the length of the trans for 2 cylinders on the engine
I've never had hardly any HP so I don't even know what it's good for! I've had rigs with a 4.3tbi, 22re and 3.8 tauras and with the right gearing they've done everything I've ever needed.
building a 4 seat rig so I want to "do it right the first time" but I'll never be able to afford a Mast engine, x-trans and 4spd atlas.
I'm thinking 4.3 TBi, 700R4, 3.0 atlas, 5.13's or 5.38's with 37-40's and I'll be able to do anything I want. Drive to work, rock race (MOROC, maybe XRRA close by), crawl (RROCK) and the wifey can still drive it.
Am I missing something or is there a better affordable engine out there that I should consider?
