Re: engine swaps
yea, never understood the whole truck motor talk. it wan't in a truck before a car... and even if it had been, trucks are known for torque, and thats just what you want!

Re: engine swaps
ka t is secksi
but all these swaps are so0o0o0o0o borring now. let's do somthing crazy. let's get a jag's v12 bring the compression up, and stick it in a old car hahaha like the monster z. now that would be fun. crazy. and i bet if get a lighten flywheel we can probably make it sound like a farrari.

Re: engine swaps
RB26 is stupidly expensive to build, 2jz w/ stock bottom end lasts 900+ hp
1jz and 2jz swaps getting popular with s-chassis now

nissan was creative over the years,
and don't forget about the 4 door skylines as well.
Nissan Stagea is the best skyline: GTR powered AWD wagon
converted stageas are cool too:

Re: engine swaps
going f/k20 on my civic is unavoidable. for me to dump a whole lot of money into my motor now will max out the potential and i wouldn't have hit my desired power band yet. and if i throw in the f20 or the k20/type s then i'm half way there with a untouch power plant to mess with. ( drewls )

Re: engine swaps
i would not want aluminum motor mounts planning 350-400 hp on a ff. which will rip a aluminum motor mount apart.
yeah i think dantao is right.. probably comes with the mounts brackets and axles for that much... but then again motor mounts and brackets for the f20=ae86 is like 500 bucks just for the mounts.

Re: engine swaps
Every kit is engineered to race specifications. Engine movement is minimized by controlling the durometer of the polyurethane bushings, and as such, only 3 mounts not 4, are required for the engine swap.Three durometers of bushing stiffness are available at no additional cost. When ordering, specify whether you want "Street", "Race", or "Extreme Race" stiffness. The urethane bushings also have a lifetime warranty.
- CAD/CAM Designed.
- Proper engine placement and axle angle.
- 6061 T-6 billet aluminum
- 62A, 70a, and 88A urethane.
- Lifetime Warranty.
