is it illegal to engine swap?

[dkf]

Thats just more time in rebuilding an engine.

Yeah and that 302 will just fall into place and run with little effort.:roll:

You won't lose any power going to EFI if the system is properly sized, you will actually gain power, fuel economy along with increase driveability charactoristics. BTW an engine with 16:1 compression will be complete crap on the street. Better carry around spare 5 gal cans with race gas too.:roll:

its a project i am doing and i wanna drive it weekly. 2wd xj trophy truck.

ill loose horsepower.

It's made to run, right? Let'm loose!

its and all motor motor. no turbo or supercharger.

Good thing, too. Motors don't use turbos or superchargers.

16:1 compression and trickflow heads. the hole deal.

Sounds like you'll be throwing money into it.

 

[Turn'Nburn]

JIA's the man!! :lmao::lmao:

and come on, 16:1? stock block? how are you sealing the block to head surface? do you have a stud girdle supporting the crank area? did you eat lead paint chips as a child?
i bet your cam is a Comp Cams extreme choppy 360° with 700in lift right?:roll:

 

[hitman46mod]

Same thoughts here.

Something in my gut wants to call shenanigans on this...

efi

It's usually true that you do make less hp with efi on a normally aspirated engine. Check the test done in the mags and it's the reason all high hp cars in drag racing that have no power adders use a carb. Efi is nice for tuning purposes with power adders like turbos and nos so you can set it up real specific and it keeps the air fuel ratio better thru out the whole rpm curve . That's also why there in new cars for fuel economy and ease of operation. I still love carbs and a good one set up proper is pretty hard to beat.

I think your hopes are set a little high their, your going to need some kick ass race fuel, and it wont be no daily or even weekly driver thats for sure.

i pulled it out of my 85 gt that i drag raced. then put in a 17:1 compression 800 horse motor. 9 sec flat.... all motor baby.

i can build mean strret/drag machines.

and btw its going to be a stripped out jeep with cage and only 2wd like a pro2 truck. im cagin it. and i said weekly driver.

moneys gone already. jia thanks for using the force of motors. lol no nos either.

 

[Sydwaiz]

By weekly you mean once a week in a race right? Then yeah, it would be legal. But not for street use. What are the smog laws in your area?
What type of trans and rear end are you going to back it up with? Sounds cool. Pics?

 

[TEDROCKZ]

Pics?

video! of the motor in 79 mustang before the new rebuild. this is the 16:1 motor

http://www.youtube.com/user/xxaxnxtxhxoxnxyxx#p/f/3/b_auwQsuLTU

this is friend video taping me.

oh yeah. ford rear with spool and a c-6 trans its all biult already. just need to mount. ima just keep all this on the down low in my area.

 

[ScalerLover]

I would think someone in your position would know about their state laws and engine swapping.... if you do what you claim you do...

 

[joesbruiser]

I am confused is it a 79 or a 85?

And why play around with such high compression to only make that kinda power?
I know our small block ford granted it is a big cube small block makes about 780Hp at 14.1 on the motor and its a nitrous motor so where bleeding off tons of NA power because of the cam.

the 347 (302) was in 79 before 85. 79 has another motor in it now. and no the old 347 thats 16:1 is not nitous at all. i run motor only! fords are not wimpy like chevys or mopar that need nitous to beat me. i got balls man. mods close this thread or delete it. no one seams to beleive me

I got a ford for you or a mopar or a chevy.How about a All motor Jag with a chevy motor and its only 11.1
I would say I can strap you to a race in a minute.
Personally I like Power adder cars.

What kinda 1/8 mile Et does your little car run?

Here is our little 4 headlight car.

 

[canadianbacon]

If you can build "mean street/drag machines" you should be able to make more than 500hp with a 16:1 CR. I've heard of people making that much with 12:1, hell on HorsePower TV last week they made 518 hp with bolt ons from the Summit catalog with a 347...

 

[joesbruiser]

I don't Doubt the guy can build a mean street car.I know lots of folks that can. But i see no need to have a 16.1 347 that only makes 500hp and then want to put it in a jeep.A high HP 2 wheel drive jeep could be one hell of a sleeper but not with the sound that 16.1 makes out the exhaust.

 

[Calderwood]

There is a lot of nonsense in this thread. Neither the efi or carb should make more peak hp than the other as long as both are properly sized. The efi will generally make more power throught the rpm range with improved drivabilty due to better metering. It can simply keep a/f ratios more stable in real world situations.

16-1 and 17-1 compression ratios? That's pro stock territory. What cylinder pressures are you seeing? What ignition control do you have?

 

[Duuuuuuuude]

gaaaa this is starting to sound like an AOL chatroom...

If someone pops in to talk about thier 8 second Civic I am so outta here...

Dude, your such a tool. No one is buying your claims. The car in the video shifted 3 times if i heard right, so it probably has a c4 (not that you would know its probably not yours). The car in the video is also only a 4 lug, and has a 10.5 slick. Ive never seen a 600hp fox hook with a 10.5 slick. And now you claim its 800hp and runs 9's? 800hp with a n/a 347? Sorry, but no. Ive also seen foxes with a lot less HP run 9's. Do you know what 800hp would be like in a tiny fox? Let alone the size tire you would need to hook, and the chassis work you would need to keep the car from creasing???
