Hello, I'm new to the DSM scene but I've been lurking for a while.
I'm building a dune buggy and I have a target horse power of 330-350.
The exhaust and turbo setup is likely to be custom due to the nature of the project.
Anyways, My question is what year/ car should I look for my engine from? I'm not looking for the highest performance so the 2g heads, other stuff probably won't be necessary?
I was thinking getting any 1g FWD and building from there. The engine will be over the rear axle so that should make it easier to work with.
I've rebuilt plenty of engines before but this will be my first swap of an engine into a different platform. Is there anything I should look out for? would getting a turbo engine and building it from that be better?
