                Those motors are gigantic... I stood next to a pulled one a few months ago... it dwarfs the m20/m50 series, and is perceptibly bigger than the M30.

                    that's a 3.6L....or atleast the VC is from a 3.6L....

                    If you need another VC I have one...

                    Can't wait to see where this goes...

                    keep us posted Otis...

                      The car got delivered today so I have yet to get my hands on it. The owner just placed the engine in. It will be interesting to see how the air box will fit with the brake booster and radiator fitment.

                      The engine mileage I haven't a clue.



                      Here's the passenger side engine mount I custom made to clear the jumble of snakes header.

                              That engine is definitely NOT Good & Tight. I am, however, intrigued nonetheless...
