Is it possible to make fit the MGT 8.0 motor into the TNX 5.2R? Is that motor much more powerful? Faster? I'd imagine with a bit of fabrication it can be fitted, but can't find much info on this MGT 8 motor...

It is definitely a torque monster. I still think a Picco .28 would be more powerful and consumes alot less fuel.
How can a smaller engine (especially a .28) be more powerful?

Think of it this way, you're putting together a Chevelle, Nova, etc...some sort of 70's iron muscle. Would you rather put in a fully worked 350 or a factory bone stock, emissions controlled 454? 99%, I'm sure would choose the 350. Being more heavily modded, it will produce more Torque/power! Same basic concept with RC engines. A pro-modded (CEO, EBMods,HotMods,etc,etc, etc) .21 engine will likely produce better power numbers than most bone stock .28s.

He's right. Go with the Picco. It's nutty amounts of fun.
