I dont know if anyone remembers the engine setup I had before I did the ecotec engine like 3 years ago or so. But here is the toyota 3.0 V6 engine going in the new buggy. Bought a berrien stalker knock down. Started this the beginning of march and trying to get it done for memorial.

Electric power steering to a gm center steer rack
Nitro shocks in the rear with torsions still in acting only as sway bars.

Frame is alittle smaller then I expected. Its +3 taller. I should of gotten it wider too. Im 6'1" and its alittle tight for me.

I figured you'd built a reversed geared suby trans and went 2.5 turbo. . Chad

No offense to Suby fans but Im not a fan. The Suby Trans though is still in the works

No need worrying about us Subaru guys, were to busy pointing and laughing at the VW guys.

Why the 3.0 just asking? Kind of heavy and not real powerful. I had a 93 SR 5 with the 3.0 with 275,000 miles still running strong

Its not much heavier then the ecotec. I put this engine in my old frame after I sold my ecotec setup and it actually moved a good bit of weight forward because its shorter then the ecotec. My suspension was sagging with the ecotec and went back up to the stops after the v6 was in.

I had this engine setup already before I did the ecotec swap. So I thought Id try it out and if I dont like it Ill go back to one of the new 2.5 ecotec

A very long weekend of buggy building. A lot of progress made.
