[Roadsters] Jumping 4th ( update ) (update to the update )

[Hall, Phillip B. (MSFC-ED03)]

 Agreed.  Ran 1600's for 30 years and a couple of years ago bought a
2000.  Yep, the 2000 power is perfect for a Roadster.  Still think the
1600 is magic around town....

DeWayne,

Mike Harper's answer is technically correct, but more descriptive is:
About 10 pounds (penalty), and, with SUs, about 40 horsepower and 30
pounds-feet of torque, in favor of the SRL.

Take it from someone who transplanted a 2000 into a '66-1600.  It
transforms the car.

(Now we'll hear from the guys who put 240SX and other modern)motors and
trannies into theirs, which I will acknowledge up front transforms the
car a lot more.)
