Last night I lay in my ,looking up at the stars,and thought to myself...WHERE'S MY ROOF! :AGGHH:
The only ones I can think of are some early 80's cars like the Chevy Citation and Dodge 3.0 engined cars. Almost all modern FWD cars are injected and distributor-less. Not easily or cheaply converted.
Working with fuel injection and the associated electronics is not as difficult as you would think. All of the information you would need on a particular car is available on the internet. You can work wonders with a Haynes manual and Google.
I would recommend a GM 3.8 V6 "Corporate" engine. Dependable, powerful and plentiful.
Stay away from the Ford Taurus stuff, transmissions were junk. If you can buy the entire car, you get everything you need to make it run. In my opinion, this is the only way to go. Just too costly to piece everything together from a junkyard.
Stick with the factory stuff and in the end you will have a better running more economical ride.
I built a couple V6 trikes, one using the front end from a Chevy Citation, the other a Fiero rear end. They both use the same suspension parts, transaxles, etc. I used a 2.8 "Z" code engine from the Citation X11, and they ran great. Both were carburated, no computers or fuel injection.
