:hmm
....probably would get around 35 mpg...

...just thinking that I could swap the 1.3 from the '99 commuter into the '91 Vert..

...and vise-versa...

...comments?

Possible, but gunna be surgery. :gamerz Not a direct swap. Will need to move some mounts around, wiring harnesses, linkage mods, etc.

IMO, the only reason that I personally would do the 4 into a 3 hole, is to mod the snot, out of the 4, and build a cool hot rod. :nfs

Just have to figure out how to keep the front end from hopping! (while doing a burn out. I've only done one with my 3/5. :evillol It's gotta be hard on the equipment! :smackface )

Or just be easier on the gas at take off. :-/

This is a project I have been planning, I've already got a wiring harness out of a '00 4 cylinder :D

...well that settles it, I'll wait for McM to try it first...

...I know it would be a bunch of work. I've been kicking the idea around for a few days now.

Figured I would see what you 'more-learned' Metrologists thoughts were about the venture.

Sounds like a fun project. I can't see why you can't do it. Make it a project on here with lots of pics. :D

Lots of work, as you can imagine, not to mention you're having to sleep in your new shed . . . wife having to walk to the store and everything . . . cutting her car up for parts! :'(

Bad Bend and Snowfish have the cheap and easy solution going with that race car camshaft they have in theirs. 3Tech or Delta can turn one out for you.

Although :hmm . . . nahhhh . . . but then again :popcorn . . . . nahhh! :ermm:

Mac will get his done someday . . . :thumb
