New Engine for RWD cars
December 05, 2013 01:11PM
Looks like ford is set to release their new ecoboost 2.3L I4 in a RWD platform for the 2015 mustang.

Since Ford currently offers the FWD orientation of this motor as a crate motor offering this could be a good option for people building volvos or Merkurs.

Looks like it has lots of good bits like forged steel crank and rods. Exhaust manifold that is integrated into the head. Piston cooling jets.

Yeah ^ what he said. See Tom if you'd come drag away that maroon beast I have pointed to before---not in half jest--- you'd have 205 ft/lbs stock.

Now when you romp on the gas with all that nice long travel suspension the car would hunker down and hook up..

Problem solved.smileys with beer

When do you want to come get it?smiling bouncing smiley

Cage and some suspenders and you can do just like this:

Sorry, that wasn't really intended to say you hadn't actually sold any, just seemed like a good moment for a Princess Bride movie quote.

I'll have a real job again someday
