V8 engine swaps

ssaskiksubucni · 06-24-2006, 12:14 PM

understandable, but an american motor does not belong in a japaneese car. many other japaneese motors are pushing a whole lot more then any american engine. americans think big is always better. hell the new impala has a 5.7 litre V-8, but only 303 hp. subaru can use a 2.5 litre I4 to put out the same numbers as that. its stupid and a waste of time. and if you knew anything an I6 always had more torque then any V6 could have. the reason the V was made was for more even fuel distribution. with fuel injection, an I6 is more practical if you have the givin space

American motors are always superior in HP and torque than any Japanese motor. A Chevy 350 is capable of over 1200HP with BOLT-ON mods costing under 10 grand. A Japanese engine requires 10's of thousands of dollars worth of parts to equal that performance. If your looking for maximum power and minimum cost. An american V8 is far superior.

1200? HAH funny cars and F1 cars have a hard time putting out those numbers, and thier running 8 second quarter miles. you mean to tell me that a SMALL block chevy is able to do that? also, that 350 is wieghing in at over 1000 lbs. its stupid, dont bother. if your not contempt with the car, then sell it and buy something else. Mr.Ford here has his heart set so i wont argue anymore

Nice motor....but that didnt really prove anything. Plus modding that motor with hardly any aftermarket parts for it would make less sense and cost more than just keeping the 7m or j motor in in the first place. The reason they wana use an american v8 is for the performance/cost ratio and availability or engines and parts, Basically unlimited. Plus having a v8 is just cool (sound effects, braggins rights)

very possible. i second everything this guy says. i was looking to do the same thing with the 427 except i was going to spend another 2000 dollars and put twin turbos on it u can get 744 hp @ 5000 rpms and 798 ftlb @ 4500. that was my plan until i found a 302 DEstroker i can get 821 hp @ 8500 rpms and 714 ftlb @ 7500 rpms. (i have a engine dyno simulation program) less stress on the supra trans and rearend i have so i shouldnt shell it out to quickly.
