MGT 8.0 engine upgrade

[Acert]

So my brother installed a LRP Nitro Engine ZR.30 Spec.2 Pullstart engine in his mgt 8 and thinks hes king of the hill now. What would be the best engine upgrade for my 8.0 to shut him up?

LRP .32!

The guy that owns the Extreme RC mods vendor store had this to say when asked a similiar type question

I have the Extreme modified SH P8 .28 (same engine as the LRP spec 3 .28 and Mach 454) for $245 shipped NIB. It will outrun all the stock engines listed above with ease, check out the BST section for more info and vids if your interested.

I would check with him (Sorry extreme mods guy, I dont know yoru name) and I bet he could hook you up with something modded that would shut your bother up quick, fast and in a hurry

Heres a link to his sub section in the forum.

not tryin to jack your thread but will this motor fit on a savage with ease ?

No it will not fit a Savage and the 8.0 is not really a step from most .28 engines. Bigger is not always better.

I agree with Frickin Joey. It says right in the paperwork that these engines will only work on an MGT. The motor mounting holes are different that any other big blocks therefore it will not work. If you change a motor in a MGT 8.0 you have to use a 4.6 engine mount
