well I've got my nova sitting here. its going to be my truggy motor. but the truggy isnt near finished yet. should i pull the Vspec out of the Xray to break in the .28?
 
Why not? lol

I would, that way when your truggy is done you don't have to wait to really run the truggy cause the engine will already be broken in. Just my .02.
 
Yup,and run it in the last race of the year. Wheelie 1/2 way down the straightaway. Then again I want to see the v-spec tearing it up in the cooler weather.
 
and plus youll be able to tell us the power difference in the nova .28 and the v-spec, i know personaly the v-spec is stupid power.
 
If you do break it in in another vehicle, don't forget that the diff's and whatnot need broken in on the truggy. A lot of guys forget that with new trucks. Your not only breaking in an engine, but your breaking in a clutch and drivetrain.
 
diffs will already be broken in. its my swift which has seen maybe a half gallon of fuel or so. they just need the WT of oil in them changed. i think ill pull the engine out of that tonite so that i can get my flywheel and exhaust on the nova. then its just a simple swap back and forth between the 2 engines.
 
Seems to me to be a rhetorical question. I think the real question should be: how quickly can you get the Nova into a ride so you can break it in? :D
