st165??, i know its crap but Options

[shadycrew31]

what if you got one for free, that needed a rebuild? would it be worth the hassle? or shoudl i just run my little st into the ground.. keep in mind i got a 91 300zx thats taking up most my money right now.

[jcbass7]

If i got one for free i would be all over that. I think it would be fun to toy around with and build. but that 300 is also fun i bet

[shadycrew31]

yea the 300 is allot of fun! but its very expensive. i mean im thinkin of leaving the engine up on a stand im a small corner of my room and build it up over the year. here in there.. and possibly looking at putting a supra rear end with a custom drive shaft. ive seen supras with 3sgte's so im sure theres soem tranny that will bolt up. it can be done butt i dont have a garage so i dont want to get to crazy. dont flame me im just thinking outside of the box.. we all know fwd isnt as fun as rwd or awd. plus ive been on these forums longer than most people so respect your elders.

St165 imo isn't worth it

[celicurr]

I'd use it as a winter beater...

are you talking about buying the 4th gen alltrac car, or using its motor for your swap?

[shadycrew31]

swaping it into my 6th gen. were swapping a 185 into his 1st gen alltrac. and hes just gonna give me his 165, i just dont know if i should spend the extra cash in completely rebuilding it..

[lagos]

not worth it. just get a 2nd or 3rd gen

[x_itchy_b_x]

take it from your buddy and part it out on ebay, head, block, manifolds, ect.

[shadycrew31]

i think im gonna keep it as a toy to work on. i mean its pretty much the same engine as a 165 just overheats easily. and thorottle bodys a bit smaller. all of that can be fixed.
