oil pan hitting steering rack on engine swap

[EHA Racing]

The funny thing is I hate seeing Chevy engines in Mustangs. It really pisses me off. But when I see a 2G63 in one I think it's cool and inventive. I guess it's because of the Ford - Chevy rivalry. I don't want to see a Chevy guy enjoying a Ford chassis LOL.

im using a ka24de from a 1995 240sx and i think a little bit but not much

My friend had a built ka24 in his 240 but uses the car only for drift and went to a LS3 and T-56 in it. He is planning on sticking the turbo ka24 in a E36 BMW.

I agree Doug, but we all still run ford rears, even them damn chevy guys do lol . I was once told an engine doesnt know what it is, it has no idea its a ford or chevy so whats the difference. and for what its worth FORD doesnt make many parts anyway, they've been made by so many companies I cant keep track anymore including crane, strange, trw, etc. and the good old ford probe was mitsubishi if memory serves correctly so a nissan in a ford well why not, as long as its not a honda engine cause then you might get banned from the site lol.

Haha. That's funny because I used to be a Honda Trained Tech lol. Anyways I want to say a Ford guy though and all the engines in my car will be Ford "based". I just can't fault somebody for trying something different.
Shit, you know how may times I thought about putting an electric motor in a fox? Or maybe a Cummins Diesel??

 

[stanginthe11s]

funny, ive been thinking diesel lately myself, how can you beat 800 ft.lbs of tq good mpg and 300k on the odometer . try to do that with a race motor, were happy to get 50 miles out of our motors lol and that doesnt happen often lol. for those that think 50 miles is nothing, thats 200 runs and thats alot on a max effort motor.

I'll see what I can find, although I highly recommend you getting a Chiltons manual as they have good diagrams for each year.

 

[dsblk93gt]
