What have you guys ran with the C55 swap?


That seems like the best way to go, but if I got the C43 I would probably leave the engine in it and mod it. Now if I had a C280 and it was possible, maybe.

Do that. I spent about an hour reading you guys post over on the other forum showing the engine swaps to the C43. Very interesting.

It's funny the C36 is just as fast in the quarter as the C43.
