I measured up these engines along with an e36 m3 one and they are both very large engines! im not saying it isnt possible but it would take alot of redesign of certain aspects and lots of work and head scratching
Not sure how you would get the turbo and manifold and intercooler and all the rest of it in the bay. Maybe worth asking the people in the know how much power and more importantly torque the chassis can safely take in standard form
Anyway back to your original question! im not sure if the standard sierra diff would take that ammount of power but im sure whatever the cossies use will be up to the job (im sure tt will let you know)
And after all the work and money spent which will be alot you will have a drag car that will be like shit of a shovel rather than what the sevenesque cars are all about which is agility. Not sure how much the massive lump would upset the handling
Dont get me wrong it would be an amazing build and of similar lines of what i originally wanted to do but after being out in a 175bhp roadster (spuds) and seeing what it could do i changed my mind! sub 4s 0 to 60mph is quick enough for most people but it still has the agility to match
My car has just had the carbs set up and is 105bhp and 140lbs of torque, not much but it can take my brothers mr2 turbo up 65mph then he steams past but include a few corners and he cant get near
Not saying dont do it by any means, infact i would love too see it done, just think of what you want from the finished car before you spend tons of money and lots of time on it. A basic build with a sierra takes long enough!
