Hey everyone. I've got an extra Revo 3.3 that I want to make into a big block project car. I plan to attempt to make a new era styled mount but for now I already have the traxxas big block kit. I am fine with going the bump start route and I really don't want to move the transmission forward. I've got a hobby king eg sport .28 bolted in now just for mock up with a 3 shoe HPI clutch and only had to do some very light grinding to the engine mount and engine flange.
I want to go with a an LRP .28 or an LRP .30 but from reading online the .30 says it has a beefier crankcase so that makes me wonder if it will still fit the traxxas big block mount without severe grinding or mods.
Does anyone know if these two engines are pretty much the same exterior size in terms of crankcase and length from tip of front shaft to rear cover? Has anyone here bolted one of these in a trx big block mount and used bump start and an m2c 3 shoe clutch without moving the transmission? Also what gear ratios are possible with this mount?
