The car is just awesome. The interior is tame but not the drive train(current setup with minor mods 425HP).
The super charger....Ooooh the very slippery slope that we're telling rtatsutani not go down on.......

Don't know, the shop never replied to my questions about engine specs. I'm guessing they don't have it. I'll try calling them again.

Any dyno yet? I've been following this thread since it was started. I'm very interested in the final result.

the headers would fit as long as you don't swap in the rear motor mount from the 6 speeds. this is what the av6 guys around doing with their cl-s motor swap and 6spd swaps. Many many successful swaps down here in so cal already...

Compression with RL pistons should be close to 11:1

thats alright man. I understand. I have found an engine that i can build using those pistons...mdx etc. This engine has only been built once somewhat. What will it go in? A legend.

So keep up the good work!
