I want a DD car that gets better than 20mpg and can trap at least 12sec 1/4 mile and I know that the rb26dett can get me there, while improving every aspect of my '65 stang starting with the handling and overall weight distribution, plus it will be a one of car if I have the twin turbo rb26dett in there.

Thanks for your contributions, I asked for opinions. I do not think this is going to happen, so those of you really upset by my actions need not cry.
just thought id point out a flaw in your apparent attempt at a rant against the people on this board.

you say you want something "cool and new" but then go on to say "trying to be like the movies is a hell of a lot better than just being a sheep and doing the normal ****".

how does being like a movie and doing something thats been done at least once mean you are doing something new? wouldnt new mean its never been done before?

oh and ive been on the forums a while longer then you and have yet to see a person on "a high horse". you asked for opinions if you cant handle the opinions then dont ask for them. im sure if you went to a skyline forum and asked "hey i think im going to put this engine in an old american car" youd get the same bashing ... well except for those who are in love with the fast & furious series and idolize that life style thinking its cool to have bumble bee exhaust

If you want to get all pissy over an opinion that someone gave you because YOU asked for it, then maybe you need to find a different forum. On this forum there are people who like these cars to be hardcore original and there are others that don't really care as long as these cars aren't destroyed. You asked for opinions and you got them, maybe you need to get off your high horse and realize that constructive criticism is GOOD.

Oh yeah...IBTL!

your money, your car. putting a rice engine in it is unique, its different, and because of that, i think its cool. you don't need to come on here and ask for everyones opinions, why do u care what they think?

don't let all these traditional close minded guys shoot down your ideas. do w/e you wanna do. lord knows i dont give a crap. so i dont have any "criticism" for you

Nah, don't ban me! Isn't arguing fun?

Just kidding, I didn't mean to offend anyone on these boards. I will be asking a lot of questions in the future and I'm sure that im going to need ALL of your help. I was just bitter b/c I already bought the engine and now I'm stuck with it.

I already know I'm not going to do it. I asked for opinions and got what I asked for I guess.
Anyway,
Keep the *** reaming coming!

I finally found a set on ebay for $100 (a good price), but I waited several weeks until someone finally posted them for sale. Now I see them all the time!
