I haven't worked on it in a while because I started working on my other car again and doing a little moving. My new space to work on my car has way more room than my last shop, so now I can really get things done and have some space and not have to worry about moving things around and other people in my way.

My friend and I modified some Honda Del Sol seat to fit in the car and they feel pretty good in the FC. Last two things on the list to make it drivable is getting my exhaust welded up and relocating the front sway bar forward a little to clear the 302 oil pan

 

I was going for something a little different and just wanted to give this swap a try because it seem to be more of a challenge for me and I got my motor, trans, ecu, and wiring for the same price as 13B-T

 

i liked the rotor plague.

 

Even tho I would never put a v8 in my FC or an FD, I would put a v8 in before an rb or sr motor. I'd rather put a little bit of america in my car than a dumb Nissan motor. I own an s13 too but I would never mix them. V8 at least has some awesome torque and power at stock and fresh out of the box..

 

Cool story bro!

Because RB series motors are garbage

 

dont the new mustangs have some sort of modern 302? with 400hp?

 

I wouldn't say they're trash but they really don't belong in an FC or FD. I've seen some great silvias and skylines with nice power.

 

yup. after having the 4.6L for quite awhile they're going back to the 5.0L (302) and it will make just over 400, with the new v6 putting out 300

 

Yes, the torque is what made me say okay let do it, I mean 170 ft lbs vs. 300 ft lbs stock got my attention.

 

congrats on getting your car running, I'm in SF and plan on putting the same motor in my FB...I'd love to talk to you about the obstacles you had to deal with ect... engine sounds great too

 

Sure, no problem, I work in Menlo Park but you can come down and check it out when I bring it back to the shop. The FB is a little easier from what I here and the kit is a little cheaper too.
