Our new project car has arrived...

How big are you planning on going? Shane's is a 2.4, but he isn't up there with Rau and the like. Shep and Rau probably don't want to ditch all the development time they have into the 2.0.

We are aiming for 1000+ at the crank, lots of time and money going into this one...

And we are considering the 2.14l as an option, however most of the big dogs (shep, rau) are still running the tried and true 4g63. I've always wondered why they don't go with the bigger displacement, but perhaps they know something we don't? The only high hp 2.4l block I am familiar with is Marco...

I asked Brent about that a few years back. He said trying something new is not a good thing when you've already got a reliable setup, which is everything when you're chasing a points championship every year. But then again, Marco is building his motors now, so you never know. :JD:

Been gone a couple days, but saw this... I must say, It's a nice car to be putting a piston engine in, let alone turn it into a drag-only car. If you do it, do it well, make it look pretty inside and out and there you be.

good luck. I will find my fd3s and have my way with it someday. lol.

Being that LSx FD's are my favorite cars in the world, I am going to have to say I will not allow anything ghetto to happen. Nor will Kyle or Alex.................Chris........maybe;)

I started out totally against a 4g6x in it, but I have come around. It won't be quite as reliable as a LSx, but it is Unique, and it should be extremely fast! It will also show off our fabrication skills much more than some near drop in motor ever would!

Should be a fun filled and and challenging season for us!

Throw a Mazda motor in it.

I would build up a 20b, then put the biggest turbo that will fit between the motor and shock mount. Then look into something like a Motec to tune the car.

I like pistons:)

I dislike Apex Seals.

I can dig the 4G in a FD, but why the full drag/auto route? We've seen it before, diversify!

[v8klla]

Apparently the Mazda B2600 bell housing will work with the stock FD tranny and bolt up to the 4g63 wideblock lol. We are just going for fast and consistent!
