    YES! a BIG BLOCK! It will be interesting to see what results you get.

      I followed your build when you did the 420 swap, unfortunately I followed too close 🤣 I don't have the top end because it's too low geared but now Turnin Rust owns the car so not sure what will happen with it. I'm anxious to build another though!

    I was beyond excited until i saw the Predator lmaooo. I have almost the same project in my garage. My 87 Chevy Sprint (Metro's older brother) now has a Mustang 2 Kmember/suspension and an 8.8 rear end in it. Unibody-on-frame so itll be pretty stout. LS 6.0 install coming soon. Working on tubbuing out the rear for drag radials and cutting out the firewall and trans tunnel next. I plan to fab the hump out of roof flashing.

    Got a new subscriber here, you had me at the thumbnail. I thought, there's no way he's fitting a 460 big block into a geo. 😂

    This is a great project. Maybe with a 21 or 19 tooth sprocket the gearing will be good an fuel economy should be well over 40 mpg.

    • @Crossthe_line
      @Crossthe_line  10 місяців тому

      Given the short tire size I think a 19 tooth would put it in the 55-60 mph range.

      @@Crossthe_line can you please give an estimate as to how much it cost to do this swap. This cvt setup seems better than using a centrifugal clutch.

    • @Crossthe_line
      @Crossthe_line  10 місяців тому

      There is roughly 1000 in parts as far as engine, cvt clutch setup, sprockets, chain, bearings.

    , Keyfarms drove his truck with a 79cc, 212cc 22?cc and Duromax 400+cc. Back in the youtube old days, around 2008 or so, the first video from some guy was a Geo Metro with 10hp diesel engine. (Mighthave been a fiestiva)

    That's awesome! Have you ever watched Robot Cantina? I think he did some mods to one of these motors to help with top speed and whatnot.
