Yes, I will post about the build once it starts.

Bob, To answer your question. The 2.5 fits perfect with the plans for my SWT. I don't need an 8500 rpm 300Hp motor in a targa that just cruises the backroads. However, I find that the 2.2E is slightly lacking from a power standpoint. Since I do not plan to change gearing I want to maintain torque through the power curve. I find that sometimes I need just a little more OOOMMPPH (so to speak) to rotate the car on some of the great driving roads around Central TX.

I am building the motor to address these direct needs.

Besides, the parts to build a 2.5 are readily available. Not so much when you need an early 930/C3.0 case.
