New Engine Update

Well, as most of you know I got a new engine in my SS/SC because the first one came from together. I have 450 or so miles on the new engine, and I have babied it getting 28-29 mpg in the city. Tonight I was smooth through first, and got into second nicely. I gave her the gas, and I got the instant grin on my face back. It was 44 degrees out, and the car pulled like a rocket ship. I let off before I got near redline, and smoothly went to third. This engine sounds slightly different, and feels more powerful too. I guess I'll find out when I dyno it after some more time. I think I'm here to stay guys!

I think they have the same mounts, but you would have to get the matching ECU. You should look into it, then you could own the first 2.0 S/C Sedan.

2K5: Glad to see you got your car back and running better than before.
