  1. Ya that's what i was thinking. too much work for something that only has so much potential. well, i think a KA is out, junkyard has an a15 for 350$. sounded kinda high to me, what are those motors typically worth?
  2. sorry they're huge. didn't take the time to shrink them down ">">">">">
  3. sorry guys i'll try and have pics by tonight. anyway, didn't realize how rusted out this thing was until i was doing my sway bar end links and swapping my tires around when i noticed that, unless they came with one frame rail, that my drivers side chassis support is rusted away :( since i bought it, it has looked pretty bad and dust get's in on gravel roads from various holes rusted through. Also i found someone willing to sell me a ka24de with 5 speed for 200 bucks. motor needs rebuilt but i'm not too worried about that. Now I'm wondering however, should i even bother with such a rusted out chassis? I thought about reinforcing it, but it will never look good and clean even if i did. what do you guys think?
  4. doing these things to an a14 wouldn't result in 100 hp?
  5. why an a15 vs the 14? i thought they were virtually the same... would this be a bolt in swap?
  6. just picked up a 78 b210 gx. i drove a jeep for awhile and was sick of 15 mpgs at best. this little rust bucket cost me 550 bucks and i figured, "hell a rear wheel drive 5 speed that saves on gas... why not?" so now i have one. so then i was investigating these forums thinking i had at least 80 horsepower, come to find out that i have the only car combination that offered the 60 horse a14.... not sure if this is good or bad really. my big question is how can i add a few easy ponies to the a14? i dont want a hot rod but even a hundred horsepower in that car would feel fast i would think. fast enough for me anyway, so i was wondering what there is to do to these motors if anything. new head? new carb? headers? exaust? cams? carb turbo setup even? i dont wanna do a motor swap, i don't have the money or the know how, but this is one of the simplest motors I've ever seen and would feel confident doing most modifications to it. any suggestions for a noob? thanks guys
