That guy has more than one RX7 with an engine swap. He called me to see about buying an IRS out of a Mark VIII. He has fun projects.

No way in hell any girl of mine would go near that car. You can hear panties getting wet when cars like that are present.

And here is a very good point: I never made mention of a particular make or engine. I just would like to know why we are so stuck on pushrod engines. Once again, arguments are flawed. Nitrousbird, didn't you just create a thread on how much rotaries suck? And now you are saying that what makes an engine better is how much power it makes in comparison to its physical size? Pick one, because those statements are contrary. Also, if torque is what matters then why aren't you guys arguing in favor of inline engines? How many of you run inline 8 cylinders when its obvious that they would make a shitload of torque? What about diesel engines? They make FAR more torque than gasoline engines. If that is what matters then why don't we see any of you running them? The 1968 427 pushrod engine made 390 BHP. The same engine in SOHC form made 657 BHP from the factory. It weighed in at 5 pounds more than its pushrod counterpart. 427 info

I will let you drive mine. Shouldn't be long now. I got to drive a Mark VIII with a cobra intake and a blower. It made an additional 100+ HP to the wheels at just under 7 psi. It stil didn't make as much power (OR TORQUE) as my car does currently, and mine is untuned and running poorly. Ask someone familiar with my project what kind of power I will be looking at, and how the car should feel.

Yeah mine pulls all the way to the 7k redline...STOCK. Some things that I have noticed about this thread: There is alot of misinformation. My car DOES utilize blockoff plates for one set of ports to gain low end torque. There IS electronic valve timing for 3+ valve heads. Also, if your argument is torque, take a look at the 427 SOHC engine, and why it never made it to production cars. That engine fucking owned all. Look at the numbers that Hensler made on the big bore stroker engine he built for Andy. The car is only 324ci, but made plenty of torque AND HP. Compare apples to oranges by comparing similar RPM ranges and cubic inches. I think that takes care of all the defending arguments other than cost. That is the only advantage I can see from working on a pushrod engine. Possibly the availability of parts. I would like to hear from the people who have owned and worked on BOTH types of engines (as I have). The only reason I started this thread was in response to N20birds rotary thread.

Are we still living in the stone age? Sure they are inexpensive, but I think there's a reason for that. Pushrods and 2 valve heads suck, my 4 valve heads flow more stock than most ported 2 valve heads. AND they dont need to shape the port around some weak ass pushrod. Have fun with this one. Old guys, defend yourself...

Pyro, the EGR has nothing to do with the temperature of the coolant. It does reduce combustion temps during part throttle cruising, but thats it. I do, however, agree that it could be the water pump.

lol I'll see that 3k and raise you 200 RPMs.

Start here.

Hey man, I have some stuff in my garage if there's something else you want to complain about. Maybe you and my newborn can see who can cry the loudest.

You have no idea.

I gots what you need. Dean Markley tube amp. PM for details.

No takers? These things are almost new!

Change those .wma's into a useable file type. CDex is a wonderful program. It also has a better sounding media player. And it's open source (FREE if you can't afford to donate, which you should).

Despiser is the worst movie ever. EVER. The movies you guys are talking about are amateur suckage in comparison. Despiser is like a high school kids experiment. It is AWFUL.

Thanks all. I'm exhausted.

Sorry, that was me posting, not DJ. He was still logged in at my house. Its my bosses daughter.
