Swap in a 2.5

This is the perfect time.
And the 2.5 engine shouldnԚ´t cost you to much,
also get wiring, ecu and intake and exhaust if yours isnԚ´t double.

170hp is waiting for you ;)
With great challenges comes great engineering.

this thread is old and the 320 in question is long gone due to rust and does not need a 2.5 in it :wink:
