I agree. I'm doing this project 50% for the sound, 20% for the torque, 15% for the act of installing a 20B into a Cosmo (heh, the irony) with its large engine bay, diff gearing etc, 10% because you guys all said it would be a really cool project, and others who either currently have or used to have a Cosmo all liked them/wished they still had them, and 5% because nobody else has ever done a 20B in this particular model before (As far as I know). It's just been two HBs and lots of other non Cosmo Chassis (RX-3s etc).
To me, this car is perfect for a 20B (because I don't have an FC yet), and should be a really great Sunday cruiser, daily driver, highway flier/road trip car. I don't anticipate any bumpsteer or sway bar probs either. I like the 20B engine enough to want to install it in other peoples' (and my own) cars in the future, so this quite possibly will be the best beginner's 20B project I could have ever hoped for. My fingers are crossed that it will all come together without too much drama.
By the way, I was just over at Schuck's looking at their Holley and Edlebrock display carbs. Then I flipped through the Holley catalogue and have no idea which carb to get. The Avenger looks like a really great customizble carb. However, at 670CFM, I don't know if that would be too much for a 20B. The sales guy said it was too much for a 454, but then they put an Edlebrock (right out of the box) on it and it fired right up and idled fine. My friend's RX-7 has a 13B and an Atkins 5 inch SC with an Edlebrock carb right outta the box and runs fine too. I'm sorta leaning towards Edlebrock at the moment, but still have no idea what CFM to get.
