Welcome Pisser That's a bit of a niche engine choice there, I'm not finding much positive commentary about it. Car Craft named it first on their "10 worst engines of all time". 135 to 170 HP? I don't see it as being worth the bother, putting a V8 in is going to be more like building a tube frame race car and fitting the Metro body on top of it. This place is partly about being different, don't let me stop you, I admire your drive. |

Sup. There is a cool thread on the interwebs detailing how a guy put a Taurus engine in a Metro to make a race car. I thought the effort was amazing. He has video of his race. The links to his threads are here http://www.automotiveforums.com/t1058583-geo_metro_w_mid_engine_taurus_sho_swap.html |

The LeMons race team on the forum has inserted a BMW straight-6 into their Metro. You might do a search for LeMons and see what they came up with. It's reliable enough to finish the race, so they must have done something right! If you could put a 307 SBC in the same space, that could be a better choice, especially for parts availability. But if your heart is set on the 301, go for it! But we'll need a project thread and lots of pics!!
