Before I even get the drifting or anything going, i'd like to have a running car. That's why i'm inquiring about the engine along with some other things first..
I do understand that its going to be a lot more than just engine work as you stated. I feel as though if i can drive it, it won't end up like a lot of other project cars, just sitting. My main goal is to get the car up and running drifting/other things can hold off.
Maybe its best to just get my L28 up and running, just the task of having a mess of wires scares me a bit. I'm not very experienced with rebuilding any cars as this is my first one.
My L28 did run when i purchased it, but ran very poorly. Was un-driveable that's for sure. Gas pedal sticking down, engine would turn but would cough and die at low rpm. After removing pieces i realized there was not much fuel in the tank, nor was there barely any radiator fluid. Maybe seeing the engine in such poor shape drifted me away from actually getting it running healthy and also megasquirt scares me as well. I'm more scared/worried about electrical + wiring than anything and that is the main reason i was seeking something close to plug and play. I have no experience soldering anything. Transmission does go into gear but car rolls even in first, not sure if its supposed to be like this
And also im not able to find a f54 block near me whatsoever nor do i have the space for a donor car. I feel maybe turboing the N42 block is the best idea but again like i said, there are certain things that scare me away from that.
Advice/guidance as to what would be best for my application/goals is very appreciated
Thanks, Jaysent
