well i crashed my 240 on the 1st and ive been looking for a new car to buy. Looking thru a old young version magazine i came across the Dart izumi Fc3s and i noticed it had a 3rd gen engine. Now i would like to know how hard it would be to swap a 3rd gen engine into a FC because i will most likely be picking it up on in a short while. i have been working on rotory engines before so i wont have a problem rebulding or such so i just need to know how hard and what i will most likely need to do the swap. Thanks for your time.

why swap a 3rd gen motor into an fc? its more work for less gain, take the extra money and build a solid 13bt motor and save your money.



kevin.

Are you sure it was a 13brew, it might of been a FC eng with a FD manifold

you know thats a good question...i didnt know that they were interchangeable.

Hmm kevin i think your on to somthing...im going to look into building a solid 13bt still i have lots of research. thanks for you help guys.

Jims5543 did this swap...but only because he was practically handed a 13b-REW.



He's got a bunch of posts about it, I just can't seem to find any of them...

why would they do that bigger ports? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

not bigger ports, better intake manifold design. I'd rather swap a cosmo 13B into an FC than put the FD engine in.

im doing one right now. to be honest i would have been better off doing the 13bt up. in stead of spunking money on the stupid little bits that need changing or spending time making things fit you could do just as good a job on the origonal engine., with less stress. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif





im using the fd loom. heres a pic of some of it
