[QUOTE="Avispa, post: 9897290, member: 78552"] I'm stuck with a museum piece '66 corvette with matching numbers everything. I say stuck because I'd love to throw in a Merlin 540 and a five speed, but anything you do that car decreases its value. It's a garage queen and about all it's good for is a once a month drive. I'm not keen on matching numbers unless the car is going to be for show only. At least I have the Cobra for entertainment. By the time Terminators are old enough to be "classics" the technology will be so advanced that you won't want one for regular driving anyway. Sounds like heresy, but consider that a 2011 GT is just about where a 2003 Terminator is in performance and it's a much better car overall. I'd do the MMR 302 other than the cams. With all the HP available from boost and a few extra cubic inches, running lumpy idling, stinky exhaust, too-much valve overlap cams is almost unnecessary. Comp make a great product but they flat don't care about idle quality. Sorry to hear about your motor and good luck getting a replacement you want. [/QUOTE]
