It is probally going to be very heavy and mess up the handling
Also save the money for something else like bulletproofing the engine for higher boost

redz said the 2.7L was like double the weight of the Beta 1 in our tib. so it wouldnt be worth it. and you wouldnt be 60/40 any more. easier(more practical) to work with beta cuz its not a bad engine! Use the engine swap money to turbo that baby...laugh.gif:

Yes, we know, and yes, a search would have found that we have discussed this idea.

Uhm. Yes. to say the least. Why would you spend a few thousand to get that motor in there for just 30 more HP?

Trannys aren't faster than eachother.
