In a perfect world I’d like to have ITB 3.6-3.8 type motor in a m491
I'm at 250 hp and ~2,805 lbs on my '87. It's a ripper. Think of it as a mildly wife-unfriendly quasi "M491 Club Sport." It's not a 3.8 liter perfect world, but I'm enjoying living in it.

My '89 will have ~220 hp and ~2,700 lb target weight. Think wife-unfriendly hot rod. With M&K headers and GT3 RS muffler, should be more of a SCREAMER, but equally as enjoyable. Building a bigger motor is not within the scope of the current budget, but if the right motor came along down the road, I wouldn't be averse to augmenting the budget. ;-)
