^^what he said....I just built my mock up motor for my build and was looking at your water line setup. Looks like you boxed the firewall for clearance for the thermostat and CAS? Got any close up of you water routings?

Thermostate housing is a modified stock one.

Woah didn't even notice the boxed firewall. When I put a DOHC head on my Dodge D50 I used the front mounted CAS from Kiggly and used a remote thermostat so I could have the motor as far back as possible and not do any cutting.

^ pm'd you for further info on CAS elimination thanks

Well you could share the CAS elimination info! 8)

Kigglyracing.com has the crank trigger kit which eliminates the Cam sensor.

Was oil filter base did you use? Is it a remote mount. Got any close ups? I through my 4g63 mock up motor in my 87 yesterday and it looks like I may have some filter issue with the rack

Here are some pics of the car. I still have to finish assembling some of the interior, exterior, and wet sand/buff. We stopped the dyno at 520whp since the knock sensor was not working and we didn't want to push the car on 93 octane till it starts working.

Qluminum rods are good for race cars but for street i wouldnt use them. Just make sure you warm the motor up before anything aluminum rods have to be warmed up so they can expand witch also brings me to the next thing why aluminum rods are used mostly on track cars is because they have a fycle life. Meaning they can be turned on for example 200 times and shut down 200 times because the rods will strech and shink. and after the cycle limit you have to tear the motor down and inspect the rods to see if thwy are still in spec.

I love this swap by the way in a few years an fd with a 13b is going to be very rare.
|
Awesome work man! Best swap for a 7 to hell with those damn v8's lol. I wonder how much weight this swap adds? Keep up the good work. We need a vid of this beast running and a burnout lol.

Better than a V8! But you took an engine out that some uneducated folk think is unreliable and put an engine in that most know is unreliable... Why 4g63 out of curiosity?
