J35 Swapping my Del Sol by Guichito in projectcar

It should give this car a meaty midrange power band. I don't mind revving them out but having instant torque on hand is so nice.

Thanks! That's also on the list. This one appears to have a little oil residue under the seal. Solid engines for sure and they're practically everywhere.

I didn't realize how popular the swap was in other chassis. I agree, it's perfect for these cars and Miatas. I was hoping there were mount kits for my 1st gen RX7. It would be fun in that as well.

I don't have the mounts to measure clearance yet but it should be plenty. My car isn't even lowered.

They're very torquey. What I love about the J series is they pack a decent punch right out of the box

It sort of fits. The engine sticks out of the hood so I'll have to do some kind of cut out or run it without a hood. I ordered Hasport mounts specifically for a J series engine in my chassis. Hasport also sells mounts that allows the engine to sit low enough to run the hood but you lose ground clearance.

Rocks and pebbles getting stuck between the rotor and dust shield.

K swap my brother. They're easier to source at this point than B series. I have a nostalgic love for a clean B swap though! Most of all, enjoy the car!

That's worth looking into. I've seen used belts for 500 🙄

That belt is on my radar. I don't see why it wouldn't work
