Are you swapping it into an IX?

[325ix]

Would you please edit your post into a coherent question?

[Kershaw]

if you have to ask that question, just stop right there.

[325ix]

I really hope the Everett you have listed isn't Everett, Washington. I can barely understand what you are saying still.

To answer your question. You can't do it without major modifications.

house power

[rlddlr53]

he wants a generator for his house in case the power goes out

[bcausey]

Does he still have the car or is he buying a engine, tranny, etc?
I'm totally confused here- what was the question?
How much house power is needed for an ix?
Boosted house power is easily achieved with a generator...
Duh...

[Jaxx_]

the problem is that the IXes way so much they need house power, not just horse power. It's funny though, when my M10 sputters and coughs it makes hoarse power.

I seriously starting laughing wandering through that forest of a post.

An m30 is not an easy swap into an ix, not even sure if it's actually possible.
