Default What the!!!! Wr8 big block?!!!?




Yep that's a wr8 with a f4.6! Still a work in progress. I have to make mounts and a new stone grade.

After taking the 3.0ho off the car I'm sure a .21 would fit without mods of any sort. Now only if I can find a smaller spirgear

I have the car done. mostly, it runs and boy is it fast.
I had to lower its ride height to keep in on the ground when on road. will have to do some work to the suspension to keep in on the ground.

I still need to work on the gearing. its funky. a bigger pinion speed the car up in both top speed and acceleration. it does not like the stock gearing setup of the wr8

Looks good so far. I had a feeling a big block would fit, I'm running 1/8 power on 4s in my flux

Put a 19t and 42t gear setup, this car is stupid fast now.
Abit sluggish off the line, but some changes to the tune and clutch will fix that. Shoule get it off the line faster with a higher idle and clutch engagement.
Unlike the 19t and stock spur it can now rev up all the way, stupid loud now too.
It sounds like I'm hitting upper 30k rpm's on it. It's a screamer and likes to stay high up in the revs like it's a old .12ho engine.

But I got bad news, It blew a rear end. The f4.6 on 30% may be to much for the rear diff to handle.

I'll try to get a video of it latter this week.
