the mod potential on the j series is huge, these motors can handle good amounts of boost. The tranny is the weak link. There are numerious boosted J series motors running around in sand rails etc w/ no problems. Most are hooked up w/ an adapter plate to a VW tranny. The J series has tons of potential.

i don't think it'd have a problem at all, all_motor will be able to let you guys know soon enough from the sound of it

In retrospect... adding a CT S/C to a CLS 6MT is about all the usable power the car needs for road racing. Of course, I wouldn't mind adding another 10 or 20 WHP to my 305 WHP. For drag racing, I guess the sky's the limit as long as you can get the traction.

The heads wouldn't fit at all....they are really wide to make room for that other cam. This is a common question on the Legend board....and we even have C-blocks.
