Yeah no high strung fussy shit for me. My end-all dream, if I ever find myself in need of a whole bunch of money to get rid of, is to cam a US spec motor, do a 3.5in intake and big bore throttle body, heavy duty injectors and throw in a custom midpipe to get rid of any restriction that might be left in my exhaust and a custom tune to top it off. It would get me within spitting distance of Euro motor power levels for a whole lot less fuss and a little less money. Obviously that's not in the cards for the short term, but either rebuilding this motor or dropping in a US 3.2L would be a good foundation for that possibility down the road.
