Looking at getting another FB this summer providing a can find a good one for a good price and the need for something bigger is needed.I don't care if its a 2 or 3 year project as I will keep the NOS fed NA too drive in the summers and use this project as a weekend fun car.Any ideas are welcome.



Thanks

A 3 rotor would be nice but clearences are tight.

Thats a 13b 3rotor but you get the idea.It's huge for a FB :twisted:

20B-REW 3 rotor(pure overkill) With a custom manifold and carb.I would run it EFI with a turbo of course. :twisted: https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

The mounts I can use off a SE crossmember at least just like this one.But I do love that torque that the 20B puts out.Thats why I'm really thinking about it.I hope to have another project car by june to tear into and prep it.I want to do it right and be happy with it.That way I can have two force fed FB's.One NOS and one turbo. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

i think the 13b-re with an 89-91 turbo would be easiest

I see a tie between a J-spec T2 engine and the Cosmo RE..........Both are nice but the RE internals can handle 500hp easier.Can a stock T2 with a fresh rebuild take 500 flywheel horsepower?I see the T2 drivetrains cheaper then alot of engine.But a RE is sweet overkill too.I plan on a Haltech and if I went 20B of course custom engine mounts.Theres going to be no rushing this project I want to do everything right the first time. :bigthumg:
