U will probably need to do some drivetrain upgrading if u do put one in as it is a pretty powerful motor. Heres a link http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRTM1&P=7

Status: offline 		racemaxx is right on this one, because if u put that engine in it, and don't upgrade the drivetrain; the drivetrain components will eventually get "Eaten" alive...because of all the added power and torque the "big block" engines have....

Status: offline 		I have been doing a lot of research and pricing over the last couple of days. I also have an S-Maxx so the best deal and easiest conversion is using the Ofna .26 Picco and Ofna Engine Mount T-Maxx. Here's the links:

Engine:

Mount:

I had to replace the axles to THS CVD's the second day I had it anyway, so I pretty much figured out they're junk. Just trying to save you some time. Or you could just buy a whole new chassis and go with whatever big block you want, but it's going to cost you. I say, stick the engine in and run it until something breaks. That's more fun anyway.
