1988 929, Needs more Power.

[Japes]

Hell, I am currently driving a Mazda 1988 929 while I work on my Ford 429 Big Block (550 HP on pump gas) setup. I was wondering if there is a list of products that would be able to get me a bit more power from my Mazda. The car is fun and gets me where I am going, I just am a big power/speed fan. Thanks!

Wow. Blast from the past. Short of putting a dohc engine out of a 929S and/or a shot of nitrous, you might be out of luck. You could always just crank up your timing a little though. Where are you located? The last 929 I had in he shop here in the northeast you could throw a cat through all the rust holes and it was a 1992.

I'm actually in Texas, The motor has some get-up-n-go, but nothing like a SBC or BBF. I measured it for a 327 transplant but I would have to do too much work on the firewall. Current thing I am measuring is a Honda Civic Hatchback to rear mount a 501 Caddy. So there are no after market parts to give me some more horses?

None that I'm aware of.

Well, thanks for all your help! Once I get out of school, I might have to get a newer model Mazda and play with it.

I am looking into each of these options, What type of HP could I be looking at?

Has anyone ever seen a SBC conversion for a Mazda? I have an extra 327 sitting in my shed and think it might fit!

You could throw a turbo on it if you had the time/money.
