Which 24v should I use for a swap?

[MCAKES]

Im glad this thread is alive again...

I cant decide whether or not I want to put an M50 or S50 in my soon to be autox/track car. It would be nice to have the S50 but the boosted potential of the M50 really is quite appealing

I feel like a boosted application might not be the best for the parking lot, but on the track it would be the greatness

You just have to be a good driver, don't fuck up the corner and you won't need the torque ;)

That's why I have the S52 .

[Wh33lhop]

Yep. Sure sound good though.

'splain? i didn't think they were that costly, do you mean in terms of fab work needed to fit it?

Its not that good of a motor and it not light. Fords blow up a lot. There just not as good as chevys or chysler products. Ford has always lagged. They just arnt a verry good motor comparied to what else is out there.

Edit: If I was gonna install a Iron small block it would have to be a 340 with the 5.9s FI setup on it.

Because deep down inside, you know that you love the tiny motors that scream and beg to driven hard.

...I like my motors the same way I like my women. ;)





























...And I like my women with a large displacement and a hot single camshaft. :rofl:

How did I go from defending 5.0's to defending F20C's and s14's?

Just find a DOHC head for the m20.

Easy as pie.

True. Then what's wrong with paying extra for 0.5 to 0.7L, rather than trying to cam up 2.5L? :p

LOL. I was being sarcastic, I don't necessarily feel that way.

e30 M3, s2000, etc... efficient power FTW

Glad you feel that way.

A 5.0 is a waist of money, for anything but the cars they came in.

[JGood]

There's no replacement for displacement

Glad you feel that way.

[FredK]

Nah but seriously, American cars can tear it up, and I feel they make one of the best V8s out there.
