go with a minor built up 283, they have a shorter stroke and wind up quicker like an original porsche engine... they're a little less torquey but torque is more what will damage your transmission than HP.....just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

I agree, go with the 283. You can build it pretty hot and not exceed those specs. The throttle response and max rpm's will make you happy in such a light car.
