Default 2.7L Anyone gone down this route yet?

I was thinking of starting a 2.7 build for a bit of fun

Anyone done this yet?

Not worth the additional cost over a sorted and UK built 2.5 if you ask me.

Silly question but would the Tq be even more than the BHP on a higher lt engine?

I mean with the 2.5 you usually see 20-80tq more on cars under 500bhp

would this increase with engine capacity? Also Spool?even earlier?

Have been looking into this today,did'nt quite realize how much this would cost.

This would be something of an on going thing,to build it whilst running my 2.5 until it dies.

Again, I wouldn't waste your time. Just build a stronger 2.5.

I'm building a 2.5 with EJ257 albeit standard liners with strengthening inserts around the cylinders, cosworth internals but my aim will be to crack the 600bhp mark.
