Just because I built a 4 cylinder right now, doesn't mean I'm married to them
forever. The idea always was do the engine (4cyl), then slowly start to do the
rest of the car. I can daily driver the car and slowly do mods that will swap
over to the V8. I can setup and rebuild my suspension, add my MSD ignition,
add a roll cage and subframe connectors. I plan to see what this 4 cylinder
can really do. I have got a good long block right now and would like to see
what simple upgrades can do, later nitrous, turbo and BOTH. Then later I can
still do a V8, but when I do one, it will be a good one.

P.S. My car is not a Sunfire!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

So, Tyler, when's the 350 going in?
*ducks and runs*
Sorry, couldn't resist! :)
Seriously, I hear you about the "(not Pinto, Honda, old Supra,
Camaro, Vega, Monza, Mustang II or PACER!)" stuff! My 1979 SkyHawk
has been referred to as a Monza (well, OK, that I understand), a
Skylark (well, OK, that one, too), a Mustang, a Celica, a Porsche
(huh?), and even an Omni (the 3-door hatch O24 version). However, I
have to ask: was the guy who called it a Pacer sober?
I need a Pacer wagon............. :(
Props to you for doing the 4-banger. I saw one in a 1984 Camaro a
while back (taken from a wrecked circle-track--*sniff*--Monza Coupe),
and it was pretty strong.

It is weird driving this car after driving a 4000lb BB Mopar with
automatic. I will have pictures soon and post them somewhere.
