Totally agree, unless you want more gears and a wider Cylinder head, and a shed load more complexity.

Re: Gen3 swap - just general chat

Fitting a Holley sniper is likely to achieve your goals for a lot less money and effort. Well that was 'planA' - I even had one in my basket on my last trip to the US. The trouble is that *may* fix the smell but what I didnt want to do was go down that route only to find I still need a refesh and a...

Re: Gen3 swap - just general chat

I'm just sort of thinking once you start down the road of a refresh and making a few subtle mods to ca...
