Nerv,
Here is a different angle on the market prospects for your conversion. My bias is the huge cost/complexity/uncertainty/time of rebuilding a 3.2l M96 +6 speed.I am doing the huge rebuild now. It is way more than the car is worth when I am done. And the performance upgrade -zero !
If your V8 is Calif Smog-legal, easy to fit and less than a rebuild -it is an irresistible option when the M96 dies.
As long as it makes a bit more power and torque ,I would be happy. Be serious ,where on the street can you sensibly/legaly use much more power than a 3.2l M96 ? I would rather improve my driving skills than chase 400hp objectives.
Renegade -look at one -closely & talk to an owner.I did. It is a hack job.
Nerv, thanks for discussing this,it could save many otherwise excellent cars from the M96 disaster heap.
