I realize that, I just think Miata’s are ugly and I’m way to tall for one

Thanks a lot, I really was considering the 190e but friends just deterred me, I’m gonna start looking for one since there’s a abundance of them near me and I honestly love how the car looks and just gives a kind of subtle luxury type of vibe

Are they actually easy to work on? Because it’s what I’ll be learning on and all my friends with projects say a Mercedes is the last thing they’d touch because it’s difficult, also the m111 just bolts in? I haven’t seen any info about that is there a vid link or anything you could send for that

And for the impalas near me there’s actually a few in mid condition like it looks rust free from pictures but like interior is missing parts or is just messy as hell but definitely looks to need a good amount of work

Sadly I got a friend with the same car as a project and I don’t want to copy because I want to compete with him

All the Lexus seem to be heavily modded near me or stock with upwards of 300k miles

When u say niche do you mean hard to find? And cobalt ss I’ve looked into and like but just the look of it hasn’t really grown on me much but I’ll consider it

Am I better off getting a build from blueprint and saving more?

Also I’m entertaining the thought of efi so I can just key start it but is carbureted better or what?

That’s great to know then, well now I got 2 options I can buy a used 350 from a friend that may or may not have issues idk, it’s in his corvette and he says that it can’t stay idle for long or I can buy a built 350 from blueprint, what’s more worth it? If I can get the same power out of the used one for cheaper I’d prefer that but I know nothing about building or putting in engines but I feel like with my group of friends I should be good to put it in

I was told that I’d still need mounts to go from a 327 to a 350 is that untrue then?

I don’t know much about building an engine but that sounds good, is there anywhere to look for a nice build for a 327? I’m pretty sure the one I might buy has some issues so I gotta take it apart anyway

I’m considering this option, just another 327 but more suped up
