Yeah, it'll be a complete motor swap, the intake manifolds arn't compatible.

Nice upgrade, don't see many in that colour, love how it changes - looks green in photo's tho.

Will keep an eye out for you, I'm in you area a fair bit.

Airbox, Difilippo Extractors/High Flow Cat's, Custom Tune & Diff Gears fix's the lag down low.

I've doing diff gears on mine next.

cheers mate. what diff gears would you go with 6 speed auto...? i'll focus on paying off a fair chunk of it before i get too carried away... might go airbox asap tho.

a gt 335 engine conversion would be amazing. haha would be easier going out and buying the real deal tho i'd say...

how much power is yours making?

[jazza312]

forget that last part... just read ur sig...

[jazza312]

just thought i might upload some new photo's of this...















and got a new chunky steering wheel brand new off ebay for cheap as...



pretty sure i'll be keeping this for a while now... plan on putting some SSL's in it soon and thats it for the looks, then to do the said engine mods from earlier in the thread, will all take a while tho.

BLKPHN-

You seem to know a lot about them, how different are the coyote engines? Will we see transplants of the s/c gear into b-series when that start getting written off? Or are they completely different set-ups?

The coyote Engine is basically a larger bored 4.6L modular V8 motor with an Alloy block that the old mustangs used, the Ford Cammer motor inspired it. so it would be alot similar to how the Windsor 351 and 302 were with the size of the manifold and the deck height. The Boss 335 is a pretty good motor though, still waiting to go for a real test drive in one, we still havent had any come in for services at work, ive only moved brand new ones from inside the workshop out to the front so cant open them up but some of the guys that have had the chance to take one for a spin say they go alright

haha thats why I hate leaving my car with any workshop. They always wanna thrash it to see what its like. I had a wheel alignment at beaurepairs just the other day and on the 'test drive' I could hear him absolutely thrashing the car.

I imagine this problem would be 100x worse with any real performance car. I even got to go for a thrash (as passenger) in a R35 GTR at nissan when I worked there. There are only 4 mechanics in all of Victoria who are allowed to drive them and they still have this issue
