I am building a new rockcrawler, and just got the engine I plan on using for the project. Bad thing is I can't seem to find much info at all about people swaping these motors into anything. The engine is a 2.7L twin turbo from a '01.
First question I will need to use as aftermarket standalone ECU to run all of the fuel injection, does anyone have any experience using one of these system on this engine?
Second I will need to adapt this engine to an automatic transmission, I would prefer to use a GM tranny, anyone done this?
Just to kinda show what I am building, here is the competition buggy we just finished building. Subaru 2.5L turbo charged flat four, GM powerglide tranny, atlas transfercase, Ford 9" Dana 60 hybred axles, setup as mid engine, and running 40" tires.
