That was the road that I went down after destroying 2 8.0's ,as I wanted a little bit more power than a 28 size ,but
was very happy with my 5.9 engine!
I still have another 5.9 engine & a new pist/sleeve new in a package ,but never had to use them ,my 5.9 is
still strong after 10 yrs ,about 2 1/2 gallons through it!

There is OS & LRP engines ,they have good performance power ,Olds would have better specs on those!...

Uh ,NO!...

I don't sell none o my RC's ,now these days ,the stuff is hard to get ,back then ,the prices were pretty reasonable ,
now the stuff cost an arm & leg ,I live on a budget now ,the privates stock that I have should last me out my days!...

 

[Bluetickduke]

I understand lol I'll find something suitable

There are better quality 28's that are torque monsters ,there maybe even some 30 & 32's out there ,but those
are high dollar an normally bought from Hobby stores or their own web site!

 

[Bluetickduke]

I just don't know what will fit.


What's a good motor. Etc

Ill do research

you will need the 4.6 engine mount, the 8.0 does not fit other big blocks, good thing is they are relatively cheap.
you will also need a smaller tooth clutchbell, probably somewhere in the 16T-17T range. the 8.0s did not turn as many RPMs as most .28/4.6s, but had more torque.
many have used and loved the dynamite big red engine in their MGTs, LRP (if you can get a new from factory one, some of the semi-recent ones had QC issues and burs and imperfections in the pistons and sleeves.) Novarossi 28-8 and or the 28-7, another option is to look into HPI 4.6 engines.

Thank you! I'm definitely looking at something brand new not used

Yea ,I been searching ,but some of those engines must be a thing from the past ,can't find the good stuff anymore!...

big red is about 150USD, pretty good price for an engine, the novas you can get for around 200$, guy in another forum I'm in is having some issues with a defective head button though.

 

[Bluetickduke]

Now I'll have to see if I can find a 4.6 engine mount.
They are almost non existent

What's the problem with other big blocks, holes don't line up or something?

 

[Bluetickduke]

Bosses 3d printers are busy for the next 2-3 months solid with work

If it's a, simple clearance issue or hole location problem. I can throw it on my cnc mill and fix that

However cause of work load, I don't have time to make a new one right now

The 8.0 was a big helicopter engine redesigned, the case is to wide, looks like Cbaker got you set up though.
When AE was clearing their old parts I bought 2 of them for around 3$ each lol
