The Nissan 240SX and Mazda MX-5 Miata come to mind.

Had an old Pinto with a 460 running around town here for a while. I'd imagine it's pretty light.

I'm thinking the Mustang II's clock in at around 2800lbs in full street trim with a 302, so you figure dumping all the junk you don't need like passenger seats you can easily get rid of some quick weight

The thing is, they're so highly regarded because of their nearly even weight distribution. Put a big heavy V8 up front though and they become as useless as any other import.

that's probably why it's so popular to drop a 350 Chevy motor in since it sits back a little further it keeps the power train weight toward the middle. Don't know for sure since I don't fool with 240s or Chevies.

Miata -

I hear they make a kit to drop a 302 V8 right into a Miata. The FFR Cobra kit is nice as well, but alot more $$$ than a used Miata.

Yes, but they also make kits to drop a LSX into a miata. Why waste time with a 302 that puts out 225hp when you can have a LS1 that weighs less put down 400 at the wheels with minor bolt ons.
BTW a 351 will NOT fit into a miata.
** 93 Cobra ** #195, Teal with Black cloth interior, 1 of 185 made

A little 302 can be had and built a lot cheaper than any LSX engine.

A LS1/t56 with wiring harness computer, and all front acessories can be had for about $3500. $500 on a cam, and you are at 400rwhp for 4K.
Lets hear the way you are going to build a 400rwhp dead reliable 5.0 that gets upper 20s for MPG?
You can spend 1K on a full 5.0 with tranny/harness/etc, $1000 on a used H/C/I setup, $1500 on a used blower, $500 on mass air meter and injectors. Now you are at the HP range, but you have a wet noodle for a tranny(t5). Oh, and let me know what H/C/I/blower setup gets upper teens around town and upper 20s for MPG on the interstate. Sorry, isn't going to happen. | | |
