Motors hurt...

[ASUSMC]

i know someone that has a mod900 for sale. he wants around $2200. but the compression might be a bit to high for a sohc.

How high is the compression and how much would it matter 2V to 4V???

Plus if I am gonna do this I wanna do it right. I wanna get some cams while the heads are off and longtubes while the motor is out of the car.

The motor is an MMR 900 with 10.5:1 pistons if used in a 4valve. The rod bolts are the ARP 2000's. the compression will go up with sohc heads from what im told, but some port work can help. LMK and ill get you his contact info. hes in PHX too.

That's a drag, brother. I went through 3 motors last year, so I feel your pain.

Yep. Blew the stock 302 at the ADRA race (experimenting with nitro). Put in a built 306, which promptly ate a lifter and self destructed. Put in a DSS 331, which gave it's last and best effort at Fun Ford Fontana (running on 2 burnt pistons and a seeping head gasket).

Too much boost, too much nitro, too much timing, a combination of the three . . take your pick.

That's why I built the alky motor. It runs cool as a cucumber and it'll go nines on nuts. Of course, I can't drive it on the street anymore. But, I'm at the track almost every weekend . . . and the car was almost always down for repairs last year, anyway.
