Yes, unfortunately the exhaust will be the high cost item of this budget. For cooling I'll most likely go Cali to keep cost down (I've read all of the benefits and drawback of every system, and I think this is appropriate for this application. If the DTM was only $350 or so, then it would be obvious, but it isn't.) I'll also have to set aside some cash for head rebuild and carbs. This isn't going to be a track car, just a daily driver, so I'm trying to go as inexpensively as possible. My goal for this engine is under $2k. I understand I won't be getting the top of the line stuff for that cost, but that's not the point. When I do build a hi-po T4 (and I will...) then cost will not be a concern.
Right now, I just want to make the swap. I've been looking at beefing the T1 1600, but it just doesn't make sense if I can build an 80hp stock T4. I think that has been proven. Once I get this one going, I'll start work on planning the engine for the track car.
BTW..Carb suggestions?
