I put this thread here bec. I figured more of the 3.0L runners would see it. Move it if need be...
Ok here's the deal. Myself and a guy from work happen to decided to build up our cars at the same time. When we're done we'll race to see who's faster...
I'm in the process of building up a 3.0L for the cougar. The motor is torn down to the block and sent out for boring. I'm ordering diamond pistons, forged rods and clevite bearings. I'll grab a turbo kit once they're done. Also I'm doing my trans, lsd, slick shift forks, and suspension work...
At the same time, the guy I work with is putting a GT Cruiser 2.5L motor in his 1st gen. 4 door neon. He's going with the stock turbo and for some reason he's using the 4 speed atx out of the cruiser as well. for those of you that don't know much about these cars, the 4 speed atx isn't the best choice for performance or upgrades, per the neons.org forum. The 3 speed is...
Well once we're done and he figures out how to install the 4 speed, he thinks the "Neonator" as he calls it, will tear me up. I told him he's crazy and the only thing he's got going for him is a faster way to pick up groceries and get the kids to school on time.
What do you think, should I stop helping him out with research because he'll take me?
