You may also need to cut down a sump from a 6 cylinder from the above cars as the standard one is the wrong shape for RWD.
Quick research on the 960 box, the ratios are not amazing for what I would want only IMHO mind
The T5 in Mustang "world class" trim is pretty strong and quite small/light for what it can do against Getrags and other t56 Tremecs
The idea is to keep Fabrication to simple light and minimalist
My friend has a Mk2 FRS and I love driving it, the engine is immense,
but I like messing about with cars to much to just buy a Focus I'm wondering what it would be like as RWD in an Escort or Sierra
I like 5 pot noises...
But also been reading up on these red blocks and what can be done, its pretty outrageous it can match and better a Cossie 4 pot (I may need to hide after saying that!)
basically i see it as a Swedish Cossie lump
