Money No Object Engine Swaps

[Tinkshusband]

So PH if you had an unlimited amount of cash, what engine would you put in what car and why?

For me it would be a Chevrolet LS3 376/525 V8 Engine ( 525 hp, whats not to like!) in a 2001 - 2005 suzuki grand vitara 4 door , Ultimate 4wd sleepermobile, no one would expect it to muller them in the traffic light grand prix!

BMW 2002

Pulsar GTi-R ------> ~ 1996 Nissan Micra, basic, dodgy bodywork, on steelies but slightly lowered...

[Ultrafunkula]

Two Honda Civic Type R engines in a Prius for obvious reasons.

I'd put the V8 and running gear from the current M6 into this...

for similar trolling reasons - mid mounted twin turboed viper v10 on spaceframe chassis under a prius/ honda insight body.

Doesn't have to be money no object or indeed imaginary... I can't immediately think of much that is cooler than this guy's old school XJ6 into which he has transplanted an AJ16 supercharged engine from a much later XJR...

mashing a few of those together gives me a hilarious idea. triumph tr7 with 900hp n/a nascar engine.

i like his thinking , very pure concept, one jag straight six for one with a lot more power.

[Theophany]

How about this? 555 cubic inches, that's a 9 litre engine producing 720bhp. Imagine ripping the back seats out of some supermini, dropping that in, tricking out the suspension and giving it the beans!

I would love to drop the S85 V10 into my Z4M Coupe, along with an e90 M3 manual transmission.

[Muzzer79]

I quite like the Aston V12 in a Range Rover Classic

[FourWheelDrift]

It's already been done - http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/12/muscle-car-mee...

9.0lt 1,650bhp twin turbocharged Mercury Marine V8 into a Dodge Charger.

[benters]

I wouldn't turn down Metro 6r4 engine. . . .in my Esprit

[Oilchange]

Alfa Busso V6 3.75 litre with Ferrari throttle bodies and supercharger from Autodelta.

Into my wife's Honda Accord

I've said this a few times on here, i would love to take the front end a Celica GT4 (driving the front wheels) and stitch it to the a-pillar back of an MR2 Turbo.

Keep both engines identical and get them both upto about 400hp

800hp and awd should make it quite quick!

Something similar was done on a budget with a corolla/mr2 with seemingly good results - http://blog.caranddriver.com/lemons-goodbad-idea-o...
