Looking for the unlikely AND it needs to be within reason from Lansing, Mi:
I would like a very cheap complete running drivetrain (FWD engine and preferably automatic transmission including axles) from any one of the following:
Personally I would like a Turbo Dodge because they make big power cheap and reliable but what do you know about.
The F2T will be a bit of a battle to hit your 200hp without getting a bit creative, methinks. But it DOES have relatively insane torque.
Add Camrys and Maximas.
200 is a rough round number and is in no way an absolute minimum.
3800 poweed midsize sedans grow on trees around here. The Flint area seems to have cheaper pices. You should be able to find a complete runner for $500. around 2000 or so, these cars were 200hp right out of the box, superchraged 240. If this is going where I think it is, you may be better with the 3400 v6. it's narrower and still has 180hp before tuning. Cheap source for that would be Venture vans...
Keep an eye out for me Jeff.
I am all ears. Both would do EXACTLY what I need.
