as much as I love the M104, theres no reason to have an engine that will outlast the rest of the car![]()
Yes there is!
When the car dies, don't you want to take the engine with you?

Mustang GT's look naked without a spoiler in my opinion.

I think the RX-7 does too, but not as much, because it sort of has a lip spoiler thing going.
ok i kinda understand the ls1 swap but why????
why buy an immaculate 7 and then wreck it with a v8 when the engine in it was in good condition.
plus this adds weight in the front and has way too much torque (not necessarily a bad thing)
just spending money on the stock engine would be well worth it and keep the handling more stable

The quick pull was getting the motor out of the guy's car that was buying my motor. Since I was leading the pull, I got to make sure we all retained and left behind the exact same things when we replaced his motor with mine.ferrari_chrisGood stuff! I look forward to the updates, and good luck with the build.
Also, if you pulled the motor so quick, I hope it goes into the destination vehicle smoothly...
Heheh, yep. The point I was getting at is that I'm gonna try my hand at some wire tucking. I'm aiming for as clean of an install as possible. Something along these lines....You have Viper fenders because in the other pics I can see you unscrewed the fender and moved it out.
What do you mean by "the ratio"?Good progress dude! 👍
What's the diameter of the sway bars, and when you say 'fully manual rack' do you mean the ratio is set up to run without power steering?
As far as I'm aware, power steering racks generally have a lower ratio (or higher?) than non-power ones, so they're harder to steer when the power steering goes out. Because they're power assisted, the manufacturers can afford to make them heavier to steer for the gain of more direct steering.What do you mean by "the ratio"?
I'm guessing it's just a regular manual steering rack, or a powersteering rack with the guts taken out.
Nice progress though, those headers are awesome.
The only reason they are harder to steer when the power steering goes out is because you then have to not only turn the wheels, but push around all the fluid still in the rack. It has little to do with why they make the ratios certain ways.As far as I'm aware, power steering racks generally have a lower ratio (or higher?) than non-power ones, so they're harder to steer when the power steering goes out.
