Thats why you have it shipped from England. Well...depends on which Cosworth engine you mean

[greendog]

i realy hate the thought of this since im a 67, 68 , 69 cuda owner...and the thought of anything NON mopar in there is just wrong in general

if it was me..i would take that engine and dump it into a lightened early celica or better yet a 60s corola...or early 70s toyota PU

now on the disturbed lvl that im well versed in...the only way id do something like your thinking in a cuda would be to make it rear engine RWD this way the weight is planted where its needed since these fishys have some serious traction problems to begine with...also id proly run a mopar mill of some kind ...but again i wouldnt limit myself either....now if i wanted REALY DISTURBED id take the guts from something AWD and TURBO and graft it all under the fishy...that would be entertaining as hell...course again i think the sight of a 60's/70's toyota PU or corola burning all 4 tires off would be a killer sight

back to my 58 lloyd with a rear engine RWD 2.5 turbo

I am refering to a Sierra cosworth, I think it is a ford 2.5 w/ a 16v head.

Maybe I would just grind off the all lettering from the chrysler and have it as a mystery engine...

2.0, same as the Escort Cosworth.
And thats what some of the Ford 16v guys are doing with the Volvo conversions(head only)...griding off the VOLVO letters

[440dart]

that engine in a older toy p.u. would be fast yet funny as hell find a p.u. there cheap

So what would the big deal I just kept it all american via a chrysler engine?

[mfpmax]

You'd get more people mad that its a 4 banger first before they realize its not a Ford engine.

Supra's can make a lot of horsepower, not something that I'll argue...

But i'd rather have a 500 hp anytime than having to wait for my 500 hp to spool up with the supra engine...

Not much waiting, compared to the big block.

I'm not a fan of this argument...

It's not like you're gonna have 5 seconds of turbo lag.

Some things are sacred.

Mopars are one of them.

Sell the Cuda to someone that needs an E body project, forget this abortion.

Cuda > Poopra

[PentastarTurbo]

weight transfer ratio will be better than any small or big block combo..

She'll handle alot better in my mind..

I say DO ET!

I like unusual swaps.. Theres a real styel mini cooper with a H22 prelude engine in it running around here..

thats one fast little bastard..

[ThusterDuster94]

I say do whatever you want to with it it's your car, not really my bag if you ask me (I've always kinda liked that big v8 sound associated with older muscle cars) but regardless sounds like a cool idea. and for those of you that are bashing him about it, he's not really ruining a classic car, anybody that buy's it from him in the future can convert it back fairly easily i mean you dont really have to do any hacking to the body to swap a motor just new mounts and such. Anyways I say go for it and like TKelly said just dont put a fart cannon on it.

It's not like hes swapping a Supra motor into a Hemi Daytona. So it really isnt that sacred.

As for waiting for boost, have you ever ridden in a properly tuned TT supra? theres zero lag if any. just hard acceleration all the way to redline. My friend just built one in miami, and it is amazing. I say build it, and if it runs like a dog, then we have the right to flame. Until then, lets see what happens.

[PentastarTurbo]

Amen! People are swapping DOHC and SRT setups into numbered cars.. The SRT is more japanese than the engines that came in some of the turbo dodges.. I read that DSM R&D'd for the srt4 engines?
