I'm considering doing something strange with a 928 motor, but I need a some answers. If anyone knows the answers I'd apreciate the info.
1. What are the dimensions LxWxH of a 928 motor? 2. What are the dimensions LxWxH of a SBC? 3. Did 928s use a transaxle? 4. How much does a 928 engine weigh? 5. What does a typical SBC weigh? 6. Can you mate a GM auto or a 6 spd manual with a 928 engine? Thanks, I'm sure there will be more. |

Mercedes, so perhaps there is hope down that path. since the transaxle doesn't bolt to the engine, but there are in fact a bunch of other parts in between, it'd seem there'd be ample oppportunity for conversion parts. i'm kinds surprised we haven't seen more SBC's in 928's but i gather the reason most 928's get parked is intermittent weirdnesses in the mile or so of wire to and from all the electrical gizmos... |

I'm actually considering a 928 powered Model A or 32/33 Ford Pickup Hot Rod.
My dad is building a 32 roadster, I'm thinking about a Brookville bodied 31 extended cab pickup unless I can find a good/clean 32/33. |

I was kinda thinking 928 in the Mustang since it needs a new engine anyway. Much better than an real FoMoCo engine.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The 928 motor would be neat, other wise do a stroked FI SBF or a Lima Motor. |

My uncle built a '32 Chev roadster. More cool than FoMoCo in MHO.
I'll see if I can find a pic. |

If it doesn't get the 928, I'll actually go large, either a Hemi or Max Wedge or a 502 chevy.
None of this will happen til the damn race car gets here and finished this summer. |
