johnc Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Engine selection for a hybrid swap is mostly an emotion decision based on what the owner likes. Here's some ways to help you decide: 1. When listening to a race car which type of engine makes a sound that causes the hair on he back of your neck stand up? 2. When driving a powerful car, do you prefer instant, off-the-line response or a hard pull at high rpm? 3. Do you like to shift a lot? 4. Do you prefer an engine that delivers power in a broad, flat way or do you prefer a more peaky power delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
