Default F20C where it's not supposed to be...

Just a teaser, I'll update as things change. At this point I'm not sure when the swap will be finished, but probably a few weeks. This is icemans2k02 old engine and transmission going into my 94 FD. There will be a turbo.

This is before the mounts went in:




This is with a modified Hinson LS1 X brace and mounts.

Very cool! Will the hood clear, or do you need a hump/scoop?

1/4" without the hood liner. It's close, but I don't want an aftermarket hood if I can get away with it. Strut tower bar had to go.

I'm the dreamer, these guys have the talent:

Carter Racing

I got tired of all the overheating, smoking, and flooding issues associated with two relatively healthy rotary engines. I think this swap will be a lot like a single turbo rotary power band with Honda piston engine reliability. At least that's the hope.
