Hi does this engine have a oval shape manifold that 2 screws are needed to screw threw to the exhaust manifold ? Regards Karl
Asked by Karl on 12th May 2019

Yes, standard side exhaust.

Will a 2 speed gear set fit on it ?
Asked by Karl on 13th May 2019

That depends on your car... but yes - a 2 speed clutch bell is usually the same fitment as a single speed

Can it fit in mt2 hpi
Asked by Trevor Danby on 16th May 2021

If you have the optional engine mount (now discontinued) which mounted on the flanges, rather than bolting directly in from underneath the chassis - then yes you could probably get one of these to fit.

What engine swaps can I use instead of this I have a hobao hyper st mini Thanks
Asked by Henry on 13th March 2022

Any small block with a 12 - 18 engine and side exit exhaust would fit that car.

Will this engine work in the HSP Flying Fish that comes with a Vertex 18 motor. If not, what will work to increase speed of the car? Thanks, Greg
Asked by Gregory Mcgehee on 15th July 2023

This is a 12 size engine, whilst it would fit in the car you have it would not be better that the 18 you have in the car already.
