Twin Turbo Cuda project motor arrived

[MachIIIRayzor]

I say stick with an inline 6, except go with deisel power!
Cummins Cuda anyone?

[ednutcracker]

its a controvertial swap, ive personally wouldve done it in a light jap car

[PentastarTurbo]

I saw a 70 duster with the toyota twin turbo engine in it at a car show.. had a dyno sheet and a laptop with a dyno run looped and peaking out at 7XXWHP.. If it rocks, roll it..

car was a beater ass white with a peeling top.. perfect sleeper.. IRS setup in the rear was sweet.. mix match wheels.. the whole nine..

where'd ya get em

[slomofo]

It would be awesome to have a 440 in that thing, get chromed out valve covers that leak like crazy, edelbrock intake manifold, chromed edelbrock carb, a cam, roller lifters, stainless headers, and stainless exhaust. . . that would be original. . . . oh man, these ideas are just flowing through.... how bout chrome alternator bracket, chrome power steering bracket, chrome waterpump, and even a chrome alternator itself. . . NOBODY has ever done something like that.

Ooooh oooh.... here's another idea, let's keep this thing under 500hp so that you can chase honda tail lights all day long.

Hmmmm..... with all that weight and power under the hood, you'd better move the battery to the trunk above the right rear wheel, this will even out the weight to a 90/10 distribution, GREAT for turning AND braking.

So I think it's settled? 440, right?

[anokabball24]

I think this will be awesome, and I look forward to your progress, please update us with pics. Nice job sir.

What's with all the blue collar, anti-foreign haters out there? You guys sound like a bunch of jackasses, and you're comments make no sense. Why NOT put a 2Jz in a Cuda? Because it's rice in an American body? Who gives a crap. You guys have NO basis for your displeasure.

How many 2Jz powered Cuda's do you see rolling around? What's wrong with a little originality. I don't hear you guys ripping on the 16v converted Dodge cars . . . same principal . . . you guys suck!

Build a pos muscle car suspension for road racing??????

[Rampage1967]

Actually those old muscle cars had very good suspension, the tires were the limiting factor. Given good tires they are the equall of any of our cars.

BTW. As far as putting a 2jz in a Cuda . . . ROCK ON DUDE!!! It's no worse than a Mitsu powered MOPAR, & they came stock! (unlike my 3.0 Rampage)

Lets see some pics of the MitsuPage!

I like engine swap stuff like this..

[Rampage1967]

The Rampage is pretty rough right now, but that 3.0 & A-Sucks - O - Four really makes it move (even with a cracked head). :

I'm working on building another 3.0 to replace it, then i start the twin turbo project on it.

[PentastarTurbo]

post up a quick pic, id like to see how stuffed it looks in there

[Rampage1967]

Dude, it's tight. I had to move the radiator forward to clear the front exaust manifold & put the fans on the front. I'll have get hold of a digital camera so I can post pics.
