That's such a cute little motor. Is that going in your riding lawn mower?

@az-bum: lol, no its not... I decided to sell the RB, and go with a lighter motor in a MR setup. I'm hoping to get the car to maybe 2200lb curb weight, with 300ish whp. Should be a better power to weight ratio than my friends supercharged 350Z...

currently the car is in pieces, as I will be prepping the chassis for paint. (ie removing rust)

know anyone who wants a L26?

with a 240 you can do it with an L series. I think there was a discussion on how the SR20 doesn't necessarily make the Z car handle better. The general consensus is you end up with a tail-heavy car since the Z is already really close to 50/50 as it stands.

On the other hand, you'll never find yourself at a need for space. Have fun with it ...
