Wow, I wonder what he parks in the barn? (hood scoop) I like pistons but disaprove of this swap.
Here is where the weight balance argument comes to play, look how far the engine sits foward, I wonder where he was trying to take the swap. |
Here's a pic. of my 3.8 SII mounted. Check where the center line of the top of the struts is, and the axle center line is ~1inch in front of that. Now check where the front of the engine is, it's still a "front/mid" engine machine.

Heh, I can appreciate the motor. I've even thought to myself a couple of times (Me! Mister anti piston in an RX7 himself!) how awesome it would be to put my Buick's 3.8 SC into a first gen shell. . . .

Okay guys, you should all know by now that anything piston related belongs in the Other Engine Conversion forum. This should be no surprise.
This thread will be moved there. Jon |
