It would only be worth it if it was a DeTomaso Pantera.
Yeah, but getting a FRONT cut of a Pantera would be pretty pointless wouldnt it
Only problem is that the pantera dont have the same block which means custom adaptors and then gotta stuff around with engineers

No thanx
James, I reckon it would be a good conversion. Have you investigated if the computer is a straight swap wiring wise, and if the distributor set up is the same (ie not controlled by the EFI)?
Are you sure the heads are different too? I always thought it was just the manifolds and cam that were different?
I might have a chat 2 my cousin or even toyota and find out about the computer and distributor.
I think the head would be the same but I think it would be much easier and less time consuming 2 just swap the heads over then swaping manifolds and changing the cam.
I read on the MRT web site that the fuel injection system is different.
so why not just buy these parts? 22kw is shit all, you would get that easy with a good exhaust, cam and breathing.
I'd be looking at around $400 just for a cam. The detomaso charade obviously has a bigger intake manifold and possibly a bigger throttle body and I can always get them power ported which means more air= more power
The biggest advantage is if something goes wrong with one engine I've always got a spare
