February 13, 201412 yr comment_677479 How much money do you ahve for it? $10,000?? How experienced are you in mechanics? Can you strip and rebuild a motor? Can you modify a motor with twin carbs and suspension? The first problem is money, the second problem is doing brakes/suspension and getting it engineered.. that's where your $10,000 will go! Start off with modifying your own motor, bore the 4K out to 5K pistons and do the usual cam, carbs etc. That will keep you going for a couple of years while you assemble everything for dropping in a T motor, or a 3SG or a 4AG. A good option would be to buy someone else's partly done conversion, you can muck around with it for 6months before changing your mind and selling it on to someone else again! read this- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/64432-how-to-tackle-that-engine-conversion/ Report

Can you modify a motor with twin carbs and suspension? Those are the big questions really. And just remember that if you choose a crazy conversion, its possible that you will pour thousands of dollars into it, and not have it anywhere near finished or even driveable. That can be quite disheartening and many people cut their losses and sell for cheap. Report
