Just another reason why I live as far from California as possible remaining inside the lower 48.


Good job making it into a magazine.

I remember seeing that car at a car show in san leandro. Nice car and you were cool as **** despite my obvious distaste of the pistons...good looking car though congrats on the feature!

Very nice. I won't lie, I'd rock a F20 in an FB in a heartbeat

I've been looking for this article for a while. I'm wondering if anyone has a link too it?

As far as I can tell this is the only (documented) first gen F20C swap, (so far)

There's a guy here in MN that's doing an S2k motor swap into an FB with a fully tubed front end, he's a manager at MAP and a very nice guy to boot. Maybe I'll use one of his pictures just for a teaser

Oh cool! I actually picked up a F20C on the weekend. I won't be going as far as a tubular subframe. But I'm going to try to use a FC subframe.

I'll try to get in contact with him and see what kind of plans he has. I'm concerned about the hood clearing the engine without a modified oil pan or aftermarket hood...

I'm wondering how well that would/wouldn't fit with an FC subframe since it looks like the sump on the F20's oil pan is in the front. Might have clearance issues with the subframe and steering rack. I'll definitely be watching that build on facebook though. Big fan of this engine (and rotaries of course, no hate please)

Glad I'm sticking with rotary power. That looks like way too much work for the power you get. Looks like way too much work period.
