      There’s not many of us that’s for sure! Great seeing another doing the build. Have a channel or page you keep updated? Would love to see progress of your build!

      Mine is a Starion M120.
      Just bought PMCs trans adapter for a BMW 6 Speed.
      All i need to majorly do now is a little nip tuck on my Transwell, drive line and trans mounts.
      Relocate my sway slightly forward away from oil pan, make new engine mounts for swapped 240sx crossmember.
      240sx Coil over/s13 knuckles mated to new control arms, using 4 pot fronts "300zx" with zx hubs and rotor.
      Engine runs, maybe needs a replacement injector.. or non ebay ford 4.6.. lol.
      Slight miss on a single cylinder, good compression.
      Keep in touch guys.
      Should we all make a Facebook group ?

    Looking forward to part 2! I am looking to do something similar with my Jaguar XJS V12.

      Hopefully have something together this next month. Had another project I had to complete this last month which took all my time. Probably have a short section on that as well 👍🏻

    I am excited to see how this goes. I am putting a M120 into a chassis with plenty of space to work with and am curious how your design will sound. Looking at Zonda exhaust, they do a 6-2-1 collector setup, but the few equal length header setups I've seen have been 6-1. Keep it up.

    • @dream_killer_racing
      @dream_killer_racing  3 роки тому +1

      That makes 2 of us. Excited to hear the 6-1! I’ve seen a few like you mentioned 6-2-1. Luckily I have the space for the the large collector. What chassis are you putting your into? Not to many of us doing this swap, but seems to be growing in popularity.

      Hey Michael, thanks! I do understand what you mean, total length is roughly 25 .25 inches give or take 5/16 of an inch or total length of 64.14 CM give or take .79cm.

    How much did it take to print the mockup blocks?

    • @dream_killer_racing
      @dream_killer_racing  2 роки тому

      Material I would say around 1 to 1.5 rolls of 1kg filament for both sides. Price varies depending color and type. I used PLA, but looking back I wish I would have used something stronger like ABS. I had issues i the beginning tearing them apart so often that some broke.
