Nice! must be a quick ass car.

Thanks, that was awesome. yet another sick car.

The car looks awesome. Can't wait to see some video's of it when its done. Anyone have that vid posted a few pages back? the link doesnt seem to be working.

Id like to see some weights and dimensions of the 2rz/3rz. I'g liking this engine a lot.

the car looks awesome and you guys really DO work fast over there in Kuwait. In the first pic i noticed a yellow Z sitting in the garage, is that your's as well? Any hybrid plans for that one as well?

The T-5s out of mustangs are junk anyway. EVERY one of my friends with mustangs that are stock or close to stock have popped their transmissions, had them rebuilt, popped them again. Always seems to be 3rd gear too. If you are going to spend the money on swapping parts on the tranny and making an adapter plate, why not step up to a TKO500 and have a trans that can take pretty much anything a stock block 302 can throw at it before it splits down the middle.

Its an opel manta. Used to seem them in rally a while back.

I cant pick between one and the other. both engine types offer fun, but in completely different ways, with completely different feels. If i had the funds, id have one of each. for now ill troll until i can actually afford to get another car.

you are forgetting that that weight they quoted is for a STRIPPED car. Add manifolds, tubro, and accessories and you have a conciderably heavier engine.

that is the racing engine. the 20b that would come out of the cosmo is conciderably heavier. this site says the cosmo 20b is 350kg or 771 pounds fully dressed. it took a friend and myself to lift my STRIPPED 12a, and both of us lift weights and are fairly strong :s this thing didne even have the flywheel or front cover attached. http://cp_www.tripod.com/rotary/pg20.htm

the 13b turbo engine is not light by any means. is only weighs 50 pounds less than an ls1, double that with a 4 rotor.

because the 4 rotor engines weight is rediculous.

an aftermarket block will be over $3k with the machining required.

Does that mean the mounts are still a go?

He ended up going with the SDS EFT system since there is a local tuner. He is hopping to break into the 8's. gotta love the TT Navi 32v DOHC engines.

Nice. There is a guy locally that switched from ECC-V because he couldnt find anyone who could bypass the PATS system. And the local dealerships wouldnt touch it.

are you able to bypass the PATS system?

http://sullivanperformance.com/YVS450/tech/tech1.htm scroll about half way down the page for the info. It has the full measurements of the 4.6 and 5.4. So you could take those, measure up your engine bay and hopefully that will answer you questions on fitment. You know, SHM(sean Hyland motorsports) makes all alluminum 4.6 and 5.4 blocks now. SMH and Sullivan performance have a lot of great parts for the mod engines. The only reason to get an alluminum mod engine would be weight savings though, because the stock DOHC 5.4 will hold 1300+hp with proper prep.

Good point, didnt think about those engines. I was only thinking about the 03-04 cobra engines.

There is no way you would be able to stroke/bore a stock 351w block to 454. If you want that kind of a stroke/bore, an aftermarket block is the only way. Im not to sure what would be the "max" bore/stroke on the stock 351w block. IMO, if you are going to be spending the money to have your stock 351w block machined anyway(which you will), why not spend an extra $200 on machining with an aftermarket block? You could do a 393 stroker with a Dart block(4 bolt mains, siamese bore), and that block will be DEAD reliable with 500hp(rated for 1100+ hp or somethign stupid like that). In your original post, you said you want to spend 5-10k. With 10k(probably less), you could have a 393 stroker with a dart block. And you would most definatly see 500hp, or atleast VERY close to it. Dont forget the GOBS of torque. Relaible power cost money. Someone posted this on here a while back... Fast Cheap Reliable You may only pick 2... I HIGHLY doubt that the 5.4 will fit. It's not only taller, but wider. And from what ive been told, the 4.6 will barely fit. BTW, are you wanting to go carbed or EFI?

for 500hp, i say go with a mildly stroked 351 with a blower. Maybe a 377/383, with heads and an s-trim. That will easily see 500hp.

Clearly if he is going to be stroking the 351 and going all out, then the crappy rods in the the 5.4 wouldnt be a concern anyway. He will most likely swap them for somethign else. The romeo 5.4 blocks cant take 1300hp with proper prep. There is a guy locally building a TT 5.4 DOHC navi engine, with most of the parts being bought from here http://sullivanperformance.com Sean hyland motorsports also has an alluminum 5.4 block, wich would save on some weights(I know, doesnt matter to you). The stock 351 blocks are good to around 600hp, and with high revs, the will split down the middle. Your only option for a high powered/high revs 351 based engine is to buy an aftermarket block such as the dart block. Be expected to put another $1000 on top of the $2k price tag of the block into machine work since they are not a finished block. The 5.4 DOHC navi engines are probably your best bet for HUGE power without having to get a new block. Both versions of the modular engine blocks are strong, but the romeo is a bit stronger than the windsor. a 4.6 DOHC engine would be more than enough, but hard to come by and would cost quite a bit. Now, from what ive been told, navi(DOHC 5.4) engines are pretty easy to come by, and cost around $5k COMPLETE. throw another $5k at it, and you have one hell of a beast there.

Kooks makes some of the best headers you can get for a mustang with port matched mounting plates for spacific heads like afr, edlebrock and such. They are a little steep in price, but you get what you pay for. Turbo mustangs is an AEWESOME site. They have a huge amount of knowledge and the people there are super friendly. You can actually buy turbo manifolds for the 302 froma few places. Pro turbo has a set you can buy, here is the link. http://www.proturbokits.com/store/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=153 Here is the cartech turbo manifolds http://www.cartech.net/exhaustparts.htm im sure there are more, but those are the two i know of. hope that helps.

its hard to say as its never been done...that i know of.
