Default Anyone know what happened too... (Saleen SR 3V conversion)

Curious if anyone has heard about that 3v conversion for that 2001 Saleen SR. Last I read it had issues with exhaust manifolds clearance and crankshaft position sensor issue that kept throwing an error code.

I am no expert on the difference between the engines, but the way I understood everything I read on this project, they were trying to use a 3v engine with a 2v computer with the above challenges with the effort. I know other things were done, like locking down the camshafts, a custom throttle cable, etc...

This maybe a dumb question as it seems to obvious to me, leading me to believe there is more to this then I know; but why can't the 3v heads be used on the 2v block, thus using its stock crankshaft positioning sensor?

Aslo, if one could use the 3v heads on the 2v block, what would the compression ratio be?

If I lived 5 minutes from MMR, I'd probably have a second mortgage on my house...

So I stopped by and the guy at MMR said that no one is there anymore from the guys that did the build only guy left is the owner of MMR. He did say he talks to the guy on a regular basis and that he is extremely happy with the car. The car is in Texas with the owner. I gave him my email hoping we can get the owner of the car in here and see what he has to say about his car.

Trust me guys I am disappointed wanted to hear more info about the build. Hopefully the owner of the car gets on here and talks about it.

I don't know, but Logan motorsports say they have successfully swapped 3v engines into the new sn95 chassis.

Anyone know of anything? Anymore pictures stories, history or anything. Anyone see it in person or magazines whatever. just curious. Thought it was cool to see it in the backround of the SA-20's. Been comming across pictures and adding them up.

Default Saleen SR Photo's - DFWstangs.net

I'm not very knowledgeable about the SR (Dave should chime in at some point), but a fellow member of DFWstangs knows the owner and got to drive it recently. At this point, I have reason to believe that it's located at Alternative Automotive Technologies in Michigan. Below are recent photos:

I got pictures of the SR at Irvine, Ca. back in April 2007 ,2 V series IV , Sean told me the owner brought it in for some updated tuning , ect.
Then got to see it June 2010 at Alternative auto, June 2010 , sounded great, they were working on last min. bugs for pickup from owner soon.
had the new 3 V motor in it.

In your picture, isn't that an Extreme supercharger? Its a little bit bigger then a Series IV. Wish I could find one.

Wow that car is wicked. I had only one pic of this car, the one from the rear(i actually have it on a photobucket account) I'd never seen it from all the other angles. So awesome.

That is awesome that MMR put a 3V supercharged motor in the car. It really updates the look and performance of an awesome looking Saleen.

I saw the car just before it had the three valve thrown in it. I have some pictures on my computer at home, that I took while I was there. I'll try to remember to download them over the weekend.
