I know this thread bump is just a way for you to stay motivated but I say you either gotta cut your losses or go in all the way with the Bricklin.

VVT is only really on those motors for emissions reasons anyway.

In reality, I for one vote T56 + 1UZ in the SC400. 1UZ is a loooovely motor.
And then a big ole LS in the Bricklin.

That reminds me, don't the new Viper etc have true VVT? How the hell does that work?

It's loving witchcraft. The camshaft is in fact two shafts.

it's called CamInCam and it's ABSURD. (And still not as good as proper DOHC VVT)

Edit: OH GOD THEY APPLIED IT TO A DOHC ENGINE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpnv3lbagtg

Did you try a carpet steamer to get tint off? i find that works best, usually.

Yeah definitely go low-volume music if any. Matthias's videos are some of my favorites and they have no music.

and yes holy poo poo get yourself a milwaukee M12 Fuel (or Ryobi if you're feeling cheap) impact driver and some 6" long philips and JIS bits it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE

E: Watching these videos has made me miss my Soarer :v: I need to get my hands on a manual TT or one of the few manual-converted V8s...
