The Quad 4 would be the better choice. You would have to find a High Output Quad 4 from a 1992 GA GT, to get the 180 hp. There should be performance parts availabe for that motor(2.3 H.O Quad 4). ;)

so your saying that a quad 4 HO would be a better swap...
would that bolt in?
and who makes performance parts for that engine
