Porsche 3.8L TT in an STi. Might be expensive, but sure to be fun.

Swap a Hayabusa Engine with a turbo into a MKII Golf! That would be an awesome Auto-X Machine. That are turbo up a E30 M3 BMW.

I couldn't imagine how fast that would be. I found a table one time of 1/4 mile times of stroked VW's(things, ghia's and beetles). You wouldn't believe how fast an old air-cooled 150whp VW can go down the 1/4. As in all you proud stage 2+ STi owners would get completely spanked......I tried finding it for you guys, but I failed

fiat 500 with a viper motor muahoahaiahahah. That way it would be a fiat 500 with a 500 ci, 500 hp, 500 tq. ofcourse you would have to sit on the intake manifold and straddle the headers and your head would stick out the sun roof but hey...

There was an SCC article that a company in England was mating two busa engines to put in (I think) a Datsun... I have the issue at home in my big-box-o-car mags.

I always wanted to build a dodge coronet with a viper engine.

Local guy is doing an RB26 with a GT35 turbo kit into an 80s BMW 325, pretty cool swap.

Aries K with a GNX swap.......my buddy saw one at a 1/4 track, running 10's. COMPLETE sleeper.

Or some GEO Metro with a built/forced induction small block V8.

And I know it's not original, but I'm always a fan of the boxy 240 Volvo's with 5.0 swaps.
(kinda weird that I'm into "sleepers" and I drive a car with a big wing...haha)
