what is wrong with this world, running a 2.6L terd. NO THANKS!!!

when will you guys realize if you spend the same amount of money on a LS you will make double the power and the engine will live much longer.

Thats an interesting statement...

With a single turbo, fuel pump, injectors and a little head work the RB26 is no terd, with listed mods above the engine can produce huge amounts of power. Not to mention the work is cheap to do!

Also the main reason i am using the engine is because of the way the tranny is set up. AWD here I come....

SBC 350, FAST XFI, D1 Procharger. LS1's are great, but if you have SBC stuff lying around, why not?!

I seriously considered a LSx engine, but I couldn't resist the pull of en EFI big block! In a few years the LSx will be as common as small blocks, but that wont be the case for a Rat.
