Most of the 550 rep's i've seen have nice, built, 180HP+ type 4's in type 4's in them.
A lot of these have filthy, eurotrash iron block inline 4's out the ass.
One fellow did it right it seems and threw a 930 3.3L in there. Which still begs the question- if you can afford to go through that much trouble, you can afford to buy the real thing.
Torsional rigidity of these boats must be absolute nill. But I guess torsional rigidity doesn't mean crap when the suspension can't corner worth anything anyways.
I'm all for building kit cars and homebuilts, but it should be done right a-la Lotus Seven-esques and 550's with 3.6's in them... :-)
