was this a joke?
That and the series I engines make 200hp, and series II 230hp...... plus a torque advantage.

I wonder if a 302 would fit... I would think so... but why stop there? You might be able to squeeze in a 350...
The only way to go would be a rat motor-a 427 or a 454 bolted to a turbo 400 transmission. Go with a 4.11 posi rear end and you will be running 10's all day! Don't forget a blower and a big hood scoop.

I'm sorry, I am LMFAO.
Anyway, the short answer is: the Legend is a heavy *** car and would be slow as hell with a B18C5 engine-no torque. If you want a fast Legend, get a 92-95 with the Type-II engine and the manual transmission, not super fast, but quicker than most.
