VR s2 Acclaim/VK IS GONE :(
hello,
i just got my self another car:air: only bad thing is it has no motor. so theres no:driving: for me. anyway i want to put an engine in it but don't know what sort to put in. My mate bryce who i bought the car off says i should put a vn motor in it because i will be able to drag any c**t off and i'll be able to do fishies up the street no probs :D.
so what i would to know is what would be the best option for me? i have around $300 to spend on the motor and bryce will help me with the motor conversion.
what motor would be the best?​

$300 might get you a 253 but I don't know why you want to do it if you just want to do burnouts everywhere.
How about getting your license? When you turn 18, you would probably have changed your mind.

A 350 will cost more than 300 bucks, besides you'd need a full garage of equipment and decent knowledge about cars and mechanics to undergo a project like that.

VN/VP engines are cheap and they provide good performance for the cost. STOCK they will beat any of the carby V8's and the fuel injected ones (VN+) cost much more than $300. But if you have mods as an idea for the future, then a V8 wuld be a good idea as they have more potential
