Hey Marlin 3030. How soon can you get some picts of the V8 up for me to look at?
I'm in the recarch phase of my engine, trans, and rear end swap. I was thinking about a mitsu. turbo 4 cyl. 4G63 but if a small block V8 Ford fits under the hood then were on like Donkey Kong.. As it stands right now I'm going start digging the truck out the Sunday. It has been sleeping for 6 years. I got tired of the Smog game in california. I now have a work around for that and don't need to smog any more. If all of you fokes had the chance to spend Someone else’s money to do a build with a Ford from the ground up what would guys sugest. Give me an engine and manual trans you would like me to pick up. The engine I wanted to drop in my wife flat told me "NO WAY" But honey it's just a little Indy car engine. Here the link. It's $30K for the 400 HP 11,000 RPM V8 and around $12K to build the 4 cyl. but half the power. http://www.h1v8.com/page/page/1562068.htm Once the truck is out and cleaned up I'll start a new thread with the hole process and problems and detailed picts. So lets pick an engine... As for a trans I would like a 5 speed or a 6 speed. I like Ford over Chevy. Manley because the distributor is in the right place. I'm not totly against the Chevy but the V6 is lighter so thats an advantage.
