Ive got a blade engine for my indy frame but just been offered a zx12 engine, what do you fello peeps think. Would it fit and i suppose i would need a diferent cradle etc.
It probably would fit OK, but you'd certainly need a different engine frame etc.
A friend of mine put one in an ST Locost, it went very well (he's sold it now) but it was a lot more work than fitting a blade engine, getting
custom bits made up instead of buying off the shelf (exhaust etc), and he ended up dry sumping it as the ZX12 doesnt seem to like track use without
one.

Thanks for the input, im about to start building soon as i got the frame on friday. Think for now i will stick with the Blade. Thanks mate.
If you do decide togo the ZX12 route then let me know and I'll send you his email address as he'll be able to offer a few tips im sure
Nice on Ta..
I'm building a indy-ZX-12
You can ask MK to make a new cradle, mind the front mountings, 2001 engine has mountings that are futher apart then a 2002> engine.
The choise: 120 bhp or 180 bhp, hmmm very difficult.
Succes

I'm happy to offer advice on a ZX12 installation if you need it.
Going down the blade route for now, thanks for the advice though.
