1. Can it be done? (I don't see why not, but am curious)



2. Has it been done? (If so, pics, links)



3. Is it practical, or is it more cost effective to just stick the 20b's in FC's?



Thanks,

Jeremy

1. yes

2. www.hitman.hm

3. no, its not practical to put a 20b in anything, its a lot of work and $$$

Yeah, I know its not practical to put it in anything, lol, but how much more (or less) would it be to put it in an FB instead of an FC?



And I've seen hitmans care before, I meant actually dropping a 20b in there.



Thanks

i dunno, my guess is it would be about the same $$

Well, I know that because of the somwhat popularity of dropping them in FC's that you can buy a lot of the stuff you need for the swap pre-fabbed instead of having to custom make everything yourself. I guess I was wondering how much extra custom work would be required compared to a FC swap.

hitman doesnt have a 20b in his car, he went the expensive way and custom fabbed two 13b's together

Just imagine a 20b in a FB though. I dunno the stock weight of an FB, or the lightest one, but it is alot lighter than a Base model FC I tell you that.



Only thing would be is alot of money.



Mike, how long have you been working on your 20b FC for?

It would not surprise me that someday you would break the subframe. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png J/K.



That would be a truly disturbing car to run into on the streets, or the track. Man, I got beat by a 20+ year old car. Then you can have the excuse to paint your car pink.

That's why a 13b Cosmo is enough for me. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
