Which motor for my new project???

Im picking this up soon, probably next week
my choices for motors are below, i just need to know which motor would give me the best performance for this particular application.
And please dont bother telling me that it cant be done, my uncle is an ASE certified mechanic for over 12 years, so he knows his ins and outs. Ok well let me know

here is the picture

Re: Which motor for my new project??? (Hammett)

No body can ever say anything can't be done just takes the time money and effort to do it

good luck man i vote Supra motor or maybe for a little bit more "ease" of installation being that is is more compact and that engine bay isn't the longest thing in the world.

Hmmm, all those motors are for rwd. I don't know how you plan on making those motors work but its probably going to require a butt load of fab work.

If it is AWD, the tranny isn't strong enough for any of those motors. Why don't you ask your uncle for advice if he knows his ins and outs.

Re: (HybridRacer)

your uncle better be a beast. just because hes ase certified doesnt mean he can squeeze an nsx (or supra or s2000 for that matter) motor into a pos and make it work propely.

good luck with this expensive and time consuming project.
i suggest you get plenty of

to start.

I'll believe it when I see it not just in the car, but running down the track.
I'd vote toyota...just because if your going to dream big, you might as well dream really big.

He maybe an ASE certified mechanic, but that project is going to involve some massive amounts of custom fabracation in every aspect of the car. Don't forget to give us pics.
