I’ve been thinking about which engine I should pack in my 76 Manta B for years and days. I’d love a 6-piece but then I’m thinking about head load, performance, durability of the powertrain and the ease of maintenance (yes, actually you shouldn’t worry about this when you remodel it, but you don’t have to expand the engine for a spark plug change?! doesn’t have to be ) Here’s a small list of the engines I’m getting ready for. t has: 12V 3.0l + cheap to get + sounds better with weavers than the rest of the selection + more durable to drive on more engine capacity than the 24V (Imotec offers nice things) + cheaper to do when compared 24V – old engine ( tuning parts rare ) – power output 24V 3.0l + power + more potential when tuning + more revolving than the 12V – purchase more expensive – tuning parts very expensive 2.4er 8V + fits wonderfully + less weight + many tuning parts available – has everyone – just 4 cylinders – the 240hp I would like to have a little hard to reach I would like to hear your pros and cons on the topic.
