[V8] Re91 20v towing?

[Tony and Lillie]

Longevity isn't an issue with the 5-cyls, as long as they are maintained (read kept full of coolant and oil). However, some parts are becoming NLA (the 2nd Rad for one) so you might want to stock up on the common parts (hoses and such). I've done this with 4000Q parts, as I plan on running them as dd's till the gov't forces me to drive electric ;-)

The V8 front end looks great on a 200 20V Avant, BTW.

  Well,  that sounds promising.  If it can tow my miata on a trailer I'd be ecstatic.  Then there is the question of how bloody long they can last,  where to find new boost and coolant hoses, since I had most of mine blow on my old 5k,  and if I can find a silver v8 to do a. Front end conversion with.  Think that'd be a great start for a nice avant.

  Hmm.  I'm just not convinced that a 20v 5cyl turbo screams "reliability" and longevity, which is what id like, a car to push 300k.
