Ive removed d turbo'd fs 16v motor from my 77 chevy hatch nd fitted a n/a fe 2.0 8v motor. (standard production power 85kw in older mazda 626) ive port d intake side of d cyl head, built a custom racing intake myself nd fitted 2x 40 webers. Engine sleeves bored to 40thous nd nural hi comp pistons fitted wit double valvesprings. Standard cam, exh manifold n crank. This car is crazy! * +

Best thing is d total amount spent on d motor is R7k! I guess its around 110 to 120kw to a 3.7:1 diff ratio bt it hav serious traction problems even on dry tarmac. 0-100 is 8.5sec (suspect traction is a culprit!) nd runs in excess of 180kph like nutin. D combination feels just rite! * +
