And now for the obvious question.     And do "what" with it ?    I have one and love it.  But my needs and wants
may differ from yours. Driving my car with a FK89 is like going to the firing range with my 45.  It puts a silly ass grin
on my face, but it's not my carry piece.

The engine plans are for my street car .Normaly use always drag racing ,driving high rpm with a ranchero tranny combined .This will have a longer 4th gear to reach 180 till 190 km/h.A friend in the past have also FK89 in his car with 2180cc engine and i loved the acceleration forcing you into the seat over 4000 rpm.
