Yup, I want to add an engine in the back of my shadow. My reasoning is this, having a 400+ hp daily driver is a little rough on parts and money, so I figured tunring the wick down was out of the question, but adding a second engine didn't seem too difficult.
I know some of you guys in Wisconsin have done it with a shadow, I think there was a Rampage in California that did the same. So I am looking for any advice from those that were part of either of those projects. I know Russ Jerome was in on the one from Wisconsin.
So I have a red 1989 shadow with a 2.2L turbo 2 swap and an auto trans already done. I'm going to figure out how to do everything from wiring, to exhaust, to connecting it to the car to cooling and a fuel tank on this red car, then once it's all figured out, rebuild the engine and trans and swap everything into my 1988 shadow.
Anyone who were part of these projects have any input or suggestions? Tips, tricks, warnings?
The one thing I really want to do is have a very normal looking shadow when I'm done. Obviously it will be a 2 seater once this starts. Roof scoops and ducts are not something I want. I like sleepy.
Pics so far.... I update from time to time....http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...4170580&type=3
I plan for this to take up my garage for a looong time, probably 2 years or more so I'm in no rush to dive into it. I hope to plan it out and get it right.
