fd rotors and e-shaft

ok here is the deal i can get fd rotors, e-shaft, intake manifold... well basicly a whole fd engine minus housings. i have two s5 compleat na engines could i put fd rotors, e-shaft, and intake manifold into a s5 na engine and make a engine that would work in my s5 vert...? reason for this is i can get it all so cheap if it will work i dont wanna pass it up

Being NA, it would drop your compression ratio and you'd lose power. As for the intake, no. FD's are 4 port, our NA's are 6 port.

Could always pick them up and sell them here. I'm sure they'd sell if they are in good condition.

FD irons are very different from FC irons so that's what makes the swap a problem

the rotor housings themselves dont matter at all.

if you have the irons from an FD engine and the intake manifold, then you are pretty much good to go.

you can use whatever trans you want, however the FD trans will need some extra thinking to get to work.

i would use S4 electronics.
