I appreciate your real world billet engine experience too.

Think what you will; even inaccurately so, but funny how the thread turned around to get back on track. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Everybody loves a dumpster fire.

Yet of everyone who has commented, you’ve added the least useful posts, always managing to make a shitty remark every time. I really don’t understand what your game is but we are all sick of it

so is there anyone making a billet rear plate that would just bolt up to the Tremec or Nissan transmissions?
i was going to say if you can get the automatic style rear that is its use case, as that one is NLA from Mazda, but if you can make the housing, make it for the Tremec/Nissan specifically.

its not my idea either, Mazda has a 3 rotor irons in the catalog which bolt to the transmission the mid engine stuff runs (Hewland?)

Please go back to my first post in the thread; I knew to keep my mouth shut, but expressed interest in the topic. So you aren’t pleased with my way of trying to keep thread going by playing off all those other “useful” posts that more or less shut the it down.

The only person crying here isn’t me, making Mount Everest out of some grains of sand. Let me know if you need the links where you’ve done the same to me. Or just keep adding your own useful posts demonstrating an inability to handle mild, indirect criticism. Going on about things you had no direct experience with, but then so upset and taking it so personal. I get it way worse than that on here and don’t flip out. Cursing is generally a sign of who is not in control of their self.

I wish you’d go work on shutting down the polysci area the same way you did with this thread … oh wait …

Thanks for sharing experiences, dguy and rx72c.


If anyone wants to give me mod powers, I will spend a few hours editing the posts of both TeamRX8 and FD Wheel Covers in Carbon to make it seem like they are each rational adults who choose not to snipe at each other. I won't delete their entire posts, just the meaningless bickering.

Let’s just drop the hatchet like I’ve suggested before. Move on and enjoy the forum like normal people.

Here’s me dropping it.

I mean, nobody to my knowledge has ever made a Ford engine block with a Chevy bellhousing pattern to eliminate the one glaring flaw that Fords have, and besides like 99% of racing transmissions are the big wide Chevy trans to bellhousing pattern.... Seems obvious.

I'm of the opinion that with more aftermarket and accessible casting of blocks such as PRPs soon to be released RB setup you'll see people doing just that given that pattern making is being made far easier with both CNC and additive manufacturing. Billet is fantastic and all, but there are many pitfalls for piston dudes - rotaries less so in my opinion, but they're there.
