Any questions =)

leftyteck · 06-25-2006, 12:47 AM

nice :] looks like a 5.0? what are you gonna do with the car? any kind of racing or just for fun?

looks pretty clean btw. sits well :]

Pank · 06-25-2006, 01:05 AM

yeah, thats a 5.0.

will you be available for me to bug you when i put a smallblock chevy in the cressida?

OMGWTFBBQ · 06-25-2006, 02:05 AM

cool
stayin up with the trends

***FaLKoN240*** · 06-25-2006, 02:18 AM

Your car scared me, and everyone else when you started it. I thought wheels were gonna fall off your pretty display cases.

*DJPimpFlex* · 06-25-2006, 02:49 AM

bout time that car got a motor.....Start the fun....looks cool..

Daniel. · 06-25-2006, 02:55 AM

your car finally runs. wewt.

blk90s13 · 06-25-2006, 07:27 AM

booo josh you should have used a 350 instead

Psycho 240 Freak · 06-25-2006, 08:03 AM

Real nice clean ride and cool to be different, but not really my thing. I find it a little insulting to the 240.

*radhaz* · 06-25-2006, 08:25 AM

Excellent work, I wish I could hear it run! I guess I'm not the only one wondering why you went with the ford v8 over the chevy though?

AutoRnD · 06-25-2006, 11:42 AM

ford v8 = cheap
and i will try and get sound clips..

i'm gonna try and be a track whore w/ the car anywhere and everywhere =)

INeedNewTires · 06-25-2006, 12:03 PM

Also, i bet he found it fit easier, the distributer is in the front of the engine, chevy is back, so he probably got better weight bias with the ford as well......

***FaLKoN240*** · 06-25-2006, 12:14 PM

I overheard Josh talking about the convienance of the engine's parts location while I was at the Drift Unit BBQ.

Realchaos1 · 06-25-2006, 01:45 PM

damn i want to see video of this beast... no dual flow masters???

***S14DB*** · 06-25-2006, 02:06 PM

Why did you put a motor that puts out less HP stock then an SR?

Silverbullet · 06-25-2006, 02:11 PM

cuz NA is best son.

Oh can't forget theres no replacement for displacement either.

blu808 · 06-25-2006, 02:23 PM

Looks clean. Whats the weight difference?

When do you plan on testing the car?

Jokes on you....LS1 is individually coiled....If you went LT1 then its a problem...

Pank · 06-25-2006, 02:46 PM

i'm putting a rear dist chevy v8 (from a 69 vette, L48 i think?) in a cressida. the weight balance is going to be SO bad, i'll probably have to shred the firewall.

but its a 350!! 300hp stock! whoo

drew935 · 06-25-2006, 02:48 PM

I'm in one of the pics with the white shirt sitting down talking to John.

No i think he put the ford engine in there because its alot cheaper than chevy, parts are dirt cheap, and it makes a decent amount of torque.

I would stay away from those motors though. They tend to come apart very easily, and the oiling system is not sufficient to maintain high rpms. There are ways of fixing that though. www.cantonracing.com

Im interested to see what the weight difference is. Last time i checked it was about double the weight of an ls1 from what i remember.

SoSideways · 06-25-2006, 05:47 PM

Well Asad from Fresh Alloy mentioned that an all aluminum Ford 302 engine (alum block I think, heads, accessories and brackets, etc) weighed about the same as the KA24DE.

So depending on if Josh's engine has aluminum parts or iron/steel parts, it might be just a tad heavier than the KA.

P4rD0nM3 · 06-25-2006, 05:58 PM

I envy people with a lot of money, time and automotive knowledge.

OMGWTFBBQ · 06-25-2006, 07:12 PM

seems like more of a novelty than anything

pretty nice presentation though

I dont know about your car, but I seriously doubt the 240 will lose any sleep over it.

k0uki · 06-25-2006, 08:54 PM

your car sounded like a beast at the d-unit event josh

Nizzan4u2nv · 06-25-2006, 09:56 PM

Damn, I wouldnt mind having a ford 5.0 at all. I would love to hear that thing run. Gonna build the motor?

mr_240sx · 06-26-2006, 12:15 AM

wow josh, nice to see your 240 finally has an engine under the hood!

stock4door · 06-26-2006, 12:23 AM

Did you do the fabrication work yourself on this engine swap? i.e. brackets, mounts, etc... Good job.

santacruisin · 06-26-2006, 12:34 AM

Damn i gotta get a V8 when the SR gives up the ghost. LS1 costs about 10 G's to get it rolling (engine, tranny, kit, labor). This swap about the same in $$$?
