so yea, a buddy of mine showed me this thread on one of his websites, its a soon to be rock crawler, and he put the 2.5 V6 out of the earlier G1s.

he came up and asked if this was a legend motor, and i was like "yep"

thought you would like.

thats fucking badass, i love it. i'm gonna keep watching that thread

 

[murderotica]

Hahaha that's so tight.
I like how he says "This one spins right, the 4 cylinders spin backwards" or something. =p

 

[tubadude]

^hes from the netherlands. dont mind his english

I wonder what tranny he's using?

 

[sam o nela]

Its a 2.5 auto....

I wonder how he plans to mount up the rest of the drive train?

Great find Austin....oh yeah got your message about the Ford stereo swap into a G1....:shudders:

Aren't there Buggies in Australia that use Legend engines? I believe they even had FI on them.

someone was too lazy to just get the cup holders. i first thought it was a guy who read your DIY, then i looked at the HU, and it said Ford on it.

apparantly, he welded the diff together, and just mounted it sideways. the axle is where the wheel would be on our car.

make sense?

 

[Boondock Saint]

wtf?? why a legend motor, random if u ask me

 

[tubadude]

probably all he had

you can see the front axle attatched in this picture

Cool...But why a 2.5 legend motor for a 4X4...??? There has to be cheaper/easier solution...that would make more power...still very intrigued though...SUBSCRIBED!!!!!

 

[sam o nela]

Ohhhhh I see....lol super obvious I dont lnow how I missed that :lol:

Theres a Dune buggy on here somewhere with a 2.7, custom headers and a carburetor....

I know plenty of people that do some serious offroading with a 4 banger wrangler. The vehicles can be quite light, and they spend most of the time doing slower more precise driving. I wouldn't mind a reliable Honda V6 while out on a trail. Better low end than a 4 banger.

And not that heavy either.....awesome build!

I am amazed the motor looks hella clean. But it sad how he got the car in half.

USDM legend front clip! haha

^hes from the netherlands. dont mind his english

actually, he's from Norway, as am i. guess i'll pm him and find out if he lives near here. Many people around here have these projects. maybe i could help him out with his G1 engine. haha... i have a few spare engine parts laying around so...

 

[Xcaliber003]

^ That would be interesting if he came to alc.

probably all he had

haha That's genius.

 

[Nitteberg]

Cool tread

So this is the place to ask about the engine, I guess?

Anyone have a wire diagram?

Is it possible to remove AGR valve with it,s componet's, without disturbing the rest?

Any vacum tube's that I can remove?



I used this engine because it's the best engine for the money, Honda makes the best. I think the car is from US to. Anyone have a 3.2liter to donate
