Default Need Feedback on a Big Block conversion Kit

I have put a big block in a mamba and its insane, i will get video and pictures up by the end of the week. I am thinking about offering a big block conversion, this would be for the mamba/viper/eldorada to begin with since we have a big block conversion coming in the very near future for the megap.

I want to know what you guys think about this, good idea? I am pretty sure once you see video you will agree its a good idea!!! it will consist of engine, pipe, trans, complete flywheel/clutch bell setup, engine mounts and chassis. Feedback please.

Thanks,

Eddie

I used my buddy's .26ss losi engine but i would put a .28 or .21 sh with the conversion. It would be a 3 shoe clutch setup for sure and the mxt's big block conversion should be available in August.

I think if you have two offerings it would be neat. The Go-tech .21 and the sh .28. It would give folks a nice choice. The .21 would be insane in a 1/10 scale. GOD I CAN ONLY IMAGINE.
