Money No Object Engine Swaps
Discussion
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!

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...

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'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...
