All that work to put a less powerful engine than an m3 engine in??

That's probably why there's not too many of these around.

Well the sr box is very long and the have a short shaft to the diff but what axle do you run and you have to change mounts and make up your own, there's a lot more work then you think involved.i would also think the s chassis back axle is a lot bigger...but in reality it makes a lot more sense to fit an m3 engine, cheaper, less messing about, na power and a lot more of it too!

It was done by a lad in Wexford A few years ago it is doable all right
