I'll even throw in this shiney new nickel... it's shiney
I don't think i'm being convincing enough, am I?

except the only thing I like about the 8 engine is it is true dual getting rid of the heat problem would be nice If you want the number to the yard I will give it to you maybe you can work something out with them. I did check into the 6sp on the 8 and it sounds like it will hold up to mainly anything I wouldnt even flinch putting it in a 95 twin. I will check into the hks 6sp. Personally I always thought the fc needed another gear.

Well... did any one think of taking a rx8 engine and tranny and put it into a FC?... everything should work out.. besides the weight difference... or just slap a V8 chevy engine into the FC.. with a 6 tranny from some other car..
