Best fit a lightened flywheel before you try blipping the throttle.

The Project is................... 


To fit a 3.0 Omega Engine into my Escort Cabriolet

I have bought a Vectra V6 for the gearbox etc to use on the project.

There are a few things I am uncertain about though really, will i go into the first hedge that jumps out infront of me?
Will I be able to stop the thing from wheels spinning?
I would imagine it will sound lovely and be pretty impressive at picking its feet up.

So any ideas will be greatfully recieved... well some will

Once the front wheels get a couple of thou' above the tarmac its probably going nowhere very fast so the wheely bars bight best be on the front for ballast.....

Oooooooooohh if I have too

[robbo299]

If your going to wear your water wings why not go a stage further and weld up the doors, ( it`s a convertable anyway so wouldn`t be needed ) and either take a feed off the gearbox and fit a propeller on the rear, or an outboard on the boot lid and make a multi purpose car/speedboat. Simples    These suggestions don`t help i know Daz but had a few tinnies and silly thoughts going through my mind. ha ha.

Take your silly thoughts and "Go play on the Motorway", as my Grandad used to say

1) Scrap the Vectra donor

2) Tunnel the floor pan

3) Mount the engine PROPERLY

Do it properly then fit a rear axle

[Darth Loo-knee]

I have toyed with this idea Martin to be honest.

I prefer the idea of it being rear wheel drive as I do think the axles should do there own thing not one doing both..
