2J aint that heavy, SR aint that light ... there wouldve been a lot of other things he couldve done before deciding to swapshawnpepper said:it's called weight distribution. if you mainly race on a small track without a long straight away you sacrifice a larger engine because you don't want to make all of that power. you can only use so much power then it's overkill. I know this won't make since to anyone who drag races, sorry.
Going from a 450lb cast iron 6cyl to a 300lb aluminum 4cyl is a pretty significant weight savings IMO.venom_5 said:2J aint that heavy, SR aint that light ... there wouldve been a lot of other things he couldve done before deciding to swap

That was my thought, Weight savings is about the only reason i can think to make that swap, There is probably even more weight saved in the trans depending on which one is under there.
