Is that the same one that was on Ebay a few months back?
If so, they've toned it down a hell of a lot since then!
Get rid of the Carbon fibre wrap and from the outside it might not actually look all that bad.
The interior is better than it was previously, but still needs a bit of a calming down.
Not having any previous knowledge of the engine swaps, was this a bad one or is it just a sin to replace the Sp6 with anything other than another one?
Still not quite my cup of tea in its current form, but if I was after a Tuscan with a V8, surely this would be a viable option?

It is toned down, the bonnet is slightly better but still renders and attractive car ugly.If so, they've toned it down a hell of a lot since then!

It looks like they haven't sat the engine low enough to get the bonnet to fit, I am sure that the Holley on top is part of the problem. The bonnet alone makes it look like a bodge job. What other corners have they cut or compromises have they made?
No keen on the additional instruments either. Surely the standard dash has all the info you need for an ancient chevy V8.
It must be possible to do this conversion more sympathetically
The engine itself isnt the problem, but as so many people have said - why mess up the Tuscan lines, with that bloody great ugly bonnet it looks like a Tuscan with a 'swelling'....
And i too hate extra dials and crap in the cabin, but i guess thats personal taste. The colour i could live with (definitely striking
) if it didnt have that black wrap on it.
Story doesnt add up either, why steal a used sp6 engine
On a serious note, the story doesnt sit right with me, and why would you sell it before its even run in properly? A bit odd really.
