M297 or M120?

I see the v12....I just wish I could unsee the wheel/tire fitment. Whats the v12 outta? Any plans to change those front wheels? I hope so.

Just a basic 6.0 m120 because I don't need a diesel like overstroked engine (or have the money for one), it's a street car so the fitment will be stanceboii :P.

400hp isn't too bad especially for an engine of its Era. How much does it weigh? Just curious .

Opgedronken 01-08-2019 09:01 AM

It's about 600lbs fully dressed with torque converter.
I've stripped a crate with almost 100lbs of unused crap off it already, so about the same weight as an iron block v8 or 2jz.
It'll do well over 400hp with an ecu, exhaust and rpm bump to 7k, so that's plenty :P

Looks like your radiator / cooling system may need to be 'inventive'!!

Opgedronken 01-08-2019 10:13 AM

It takes up about the same space as a ford v8, so I'll do the same thing they do :P.

Throw it in the trunk.

I'll probably do that in the future. For now I'm just putting it in as "easy" as possible to get it registered.
