Lunacy engine swaps
Discussion
I've always had a soft spot for Volvo wagons. This one may not be looney enough for this thread, but it's so well executed.

Yeah, I was waiting for that - preferred it with the original body and the Wolfies - RR did us a favour losing the grille though "The Beast"

Awesome!
The same goes for RV3 imo, awesome car but it's a spaceframe and fibreglass car built around the engine. RV2 would count, steel bodied and several engine swaps, ending up with a huge 9litre monster.
Awesome cars though, I do agree with that.

What was that Lexus v8 engined Omega I saw in Evo a few years back?
Not that mental. Opel got as far as doing Autobahn testing on a V8 Omega but they couldn't keep it cool enough on long runs for production. Will try to dig the issue out in the absence of someone with an infallible memory.
I'm half-seriously considering dropping a Ford 7.3 Powerstroke TDV8 and accompanying ZF 6-speed manual from an F350 into my Discovery in 2 or 3 years time (the TD5 is getting a bit boring). I've seen a Cummins 6BT, Daf Gearbox and ERF turbo shoehorned into a less spacious Defender, so I know it should all just about fit.

...and there's my post for the 'juvenile things that make you snigger' thread. Quite a transplant, though, I'd imagine. The Td5 isn't a 'powerhouse'.

And about 10seconds later you will seriously be considering new diffs/axles to replace the chocolate ones!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
