I don't know anything about the Bullitt engine with the exception of what's posted in this thread. But since the Bullitt Mustang and Steve McQueen are the coolest things ever, I want to try one.
If it says Bullitt, it's automatically badass. |

Tebo is not running an Associated in disguise, ST-RR is one of the oldest truggys, but one of the best that's why the AE is a close copy...look who was running it before he switched to AE and a truggy was released.
Also Jon, do you make changes to the OS platform besides the head, like different cutting on the crank & piston? Andy Thanks for the interest, the crank etc are spec'ed to the latest version that the manufacturer has. As outlined earlier where I hope to make the difference is by the support and price point that we want to offer customers. The speed line has evolved whilst I was a factory driver for OS and during the time I was working with Recab with their version of the original V-Spec. I have run every version and prototypes of future versions along the way and the latest spec motor is just outright awesome. Jon |

Blue front bearing, red restrictor, mid range needle, ... Sounds like an OS speed :/

I know that that is why I said it is a rumor. I saw his truck at the Nats last year and can attest it is a ST-RR. Not an associated. I was using it as an example though because these trucks chassis are made in the same factory from what I have been told.
I do understand that many chassis are made at the same factories but from what i have been told the factories are not owned by the chassis brands. This flood makes the factories rich for sure but is it good for the brands? and even more so for us? I def think its good for us b/c it seems like it pushes the big names to innovate to stay on top. |

Not at all the same.;) |

where did i write they were the same ?
i said interchangable parts .. yes By the way, parts won't interchange between the two. Like I said, the Bullitt is based on the XZ-B. The Arrow is a copy of the old v-spec. Almost no parts interchange between the two lines. Rods and bearings is about it.;) This Bullitt should be a sweet engine!:nod: |

You wanted a comparison right? The Bullitt is genuine OS made. The Arrow is a cheap Taiwanese copy.

Rods and bearings is about it.;) This Bullitt should be a sweet engine!:nod: the question was .. because JON is tied into O.S , how "HE" feels about the arrow engine having interchangeable parts with a vspec.. i never said the bullet engine , the question was from a bussiness point of view. and the first question was more based on new OS's based mills coming out IE. s-works ect. |

I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong...and in my first post, I was entirely wrong. After reading the posts left by Jon and others, it sounds like Bullitt has gotten themselves a decent little mill on their hands. Are these going to be carried by any distributors in the U.S.? Do you also have Bullitt pipes to match the motors? If not carried by U.S. distributors, what would be the easiest way to get one of these motors here in the U.S.?
