euro engine has 224 lbs. (archive)

: : I know the euro is rated at around 218hp, and the US around 184, but what is the difference in torque.
: The euro has about 235lbs....or so, just can't remember.
: And suppose the US was chipped, bringing it up to around 200hp, and 240ft/lbs? Would it be just as worthy as the euro?
: No, not really, the euro starts out with 218hp.
: Can you chip the older L-jet euro? Also, either would be just as easy to convert into and e12 or early e28 if you have the whole kit, correct?
: E-28 yes, but E-12 no.
: Lastly, I found an old e23 euro, how can i tell if it has the 3.5, they where only imported in79-80?
: Look on the intake should say 3,5 or on the block itself around the #2 (I think). But do keep in mind that the old euro 79-80 had crappy intakes. Use the newer intake to get better hp.
