Putting this engine together to drop into the car and see if I can make it drive-able for now. Then in the future as funds allow I can do some real work on the other two blocks and use the Volvo 16V head to make a nice little screamer.
The last two pictures are my projects right now. The Merkur is under the car cover, the red 325i is being built for my brother in law, the silver is my new Compact I picked up. Not sure if you can see the Chump car 325i parked back to the side of the silver car. As of now we have five rally and two road race E36 cars built/being built out of our shop. Wait, this is a Merkur thread.... Grant Hughes |

Well, if he has Chuck W's Turbo Chicken motor mounts, yeah, the subframe in the Chicken is different than in the XRatti. But I'm 98% sure all the 2.3 blocks from a Pinto to a Ranger have the mount holes in the same place... Andrew Steere Lyndeborough, NH KB1PJY |
