Russ,
I am in the middle of purchasing a rebuilt 930(long story). As soon as I get it and it is inspected, I will be selling mine. i will send you the full details on it so you know what you are getting(if you decide you want to buy it). They are kind of hard to come by. I chose the 930 after the original seller informed me that the 930 was in the car. I researched it and from the way these cars can accelerate, the torque curve of the Windsor is well suited to the gear ratios of the 930. The RPMs rise so quickly that you are having to shift rather quickly, and on a road course with a six speed, or five speed for that matter, you would be changing gears all the time. I keep hearing people talk about keeping the engine in its power band, but for me, I think 500 HP in 2300#s doesn't care where that is, and the torque of that much HP will pull you up through the revs without any problem. Not to mention that I am not as young as my mind tells me I am, so I don't like the idea of changing the gears that much. It also goes back to my love of the four speeds in the muscle cars of the 60s. |
