A lot better intake manifold design in my opinion. i took it home layed it on and it didnt fit either, thats when it hit me, the deck height was taller and so it must mean the Legend heads are taller than the RL's heads, and that folks it were this whole project gets real custom.

swapping a j block and a c block would be very difficult. custom engine mounts, custom hood, etc. the j block is taller than the c block, and you are also wanting a dohc vtec setup. It would be a much taller engine.

the secret it out!

how does the manual handle the torquey beast under the hood?

legend4life · 12-19-03, 05:59 PM

I don't think he's driving it yet, but not sure.

Go do some testing man........and tell us what its like. And then finally get your car up on the dyno again and get some new numbers and new 1/4 mile times as well. I know they will be impressive.

Major props man.
