Swap 1/4 Mile Thread

. An aluminum head 5.0 is almost the same weight as an m20!

Not even Close jut a 5.0 not dressed and no trans is about 470-490 and thats not with a big ass intake lile the FI cars have. Add another 75 pounds for the t-5 minus the flywheel and pressure plate. your going to end up around 600 pounds fully dressed.


A crate motor from ford is 545 with the crate. Those shitty crates they come are not that heavy.

I can't see the pic currently at work, but I hope it's better than a 13.9

[Wh33lhop]

I see a 13.7 and a 13.59, both trapping 103.

Decent runs!

[Cbonen 325]

It was my first time at the drag strip and on the slower run i tapped the rev limiter in 2nd and 3rd opps. On the thrid run i tried to launch instead of just slipping the clutch and just spun through 1st and second.

Not for sure if its NA, but in Beirbrennere30's sig it says he trapped 111.

[UDelaware30]

its not an m5x/s5x swap, but i ran a 15.05 in my 318is with an m20b25.
it had an unknown make chip, stromung cat-back with test pipes, cone filter.

i was reading through this thread and saw a few posts regarding an m20 with these mods unable to run near 15 flat
