I'm desperate to ditch the 1.7
But not looking to shoehorn anything huge in there I'd prefere to have a simple install with plenty of room to spare I figured that the smallest engine possible would be an advantage So are there any tiny boxer Subaru motors Or Something that fits better then others And please weigh in Advantage and disadvantage Subaru conversion vs. Big type 4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-92-Harley-Spr...d65&vxp=mtr At this price you can buy 2 for a 45 deg -4 2.7L,bolt it together and make some big noise,easy in first tho,the Hogs will snap a 914 TX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rtuxEwC6Fg Then later when you want to get serious you can slip in a Red Shift Cam and really wake them up. Make some stupid power,no bs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_engine Real old tech,today the difference is metallurgy and chemistry. |
