Converting to a DOHC

Hourofpain · August 18th, 2007, 02:23 PM

is it possible to convert our cours to a dual overhead cam setup?

ESG-642T · August 18th, 2007, 02:26 PM

No.

edit: well technically anything is possible but your looking like 12k+ to build a custom motor setup / heads / and then all the parts would have to be custom made so if you break something... it would suck

Hourofpain · August 18th, 2007, 02:29 PM

damn

that sucks.

ESG-642T · August 18th, 2007, 02:31 PM

Why would you wanna do that anyway ...

Onemanzu · August 18th, 2007, 02:36 PM

yea ours are internal cam push rod style engines... you would need a custom block custom heads cams timing system etc.

Hourofpain · August 18th, 2007, 02:39 PM

eh figured if it was ossible it be radically different and prettty cool

ya a 350z with more displacement.....which would make it faster

Onemanzu · August 18th, 2007, 03:27 PM

not to much cause the 350z was well engineered the ford 3.8 economy engine wasn't

BWAL · August 18th, 2007, 03:27 PM

hourofpain - why not be the first person in history (that i know of atleast) to swap in the engine from a 350z

Onemanzu · August 18th, 2007, 03:29 PM

im talking total rebuild from the block

ESG-642T · August 18th, 2007, 03:40 PM

If you could get an upper made to look like a mustang upper...

It would be interesting

AJRight 2008 · August 18th, 2007, 04:07 PM

Yeah it would deff be interesting

. Also it wouldnt have that annoying exhaust note that 350Z G35 and FX35's all have in common (yes i know there the same engine) but all those nissans have the weirdest sounding exhausts

wannabeimportkiller · August 18th, 2007, 04:30 PM

you know i thought about that awhile back and it would be insanely cool to do, but it would probably be a nightmare, i mean you would need computer and ALL that crap. i think maybe when i get my good job after college i might try it, i dunno though. and as for the sound i wouldnt mind

ESG-642T · August 18th, 2007, 04:52 PM

Oh it would suck trying to do it...

mustang kid 1989 · August 18th, 2007, 07:03 PM

02ponypackage · August 18th, 2007, 07:06 PM

Onemanzu · August 18th, 2007, 07:11 PM
