Most Awesome engine swap idea...

ScubaSmith7599 · 10-29-2007, 02:27 PM

So I'm staying in tonight, entertain me. What do you think would be the coolest engine swap? Any car. Just put a little blurb about why.

For me, I think it would be a Chrysler/Plymouth Prowler with a 5.7 liter hemi. The car is just so unique(though I'd take many over it if given the choice) and it deserves a powerful engine, not that 3.5l V6 making only 250hp. A pretty subtle sounding swap, nothing crazy/worthless, like putting a 302 in a MGB. Anyone hear of a Prowler swap? I've only seen superchargers added........

It's been done before, but I think an SR20DET into a Datsun 510 would be a whole lot of fun. It's a small/light chassis with a ton of power potential, what's not to like?

i think a SR20DET into an EK would be very intersting!

Build the ultimate police cruiser. Drop a Gale Banks crate twin turbo V8 into a Chevy Impala. 800 bhp, 700 lbs-ft on 91 pump gas, inter cooled.

BMW E30 M3 with M5 3.6 twin turbo motor. Making 1048hp. No need to explain just watch the video its badass but pointless, too much power. lol.

Another badass one is a Lotus Elise with a K20a (type r) engine swap with supercharger. Light car plus nice power is always fun.

my next project is going to be a swap of sorts. FC RX-7 with an LS1. 325hp. 2700lbs. Instant torque.

Reading your post, then scanning over to your screen name made me chuckle. I don't know you, and you probably do has lots of skill, but...I has chuckle.
