Lunacy engine swaps
Discussion
Just seen in the back of the new Retro Ford mag that next month they will be featuring a.... 1200bhp Koenigsegg powered Granada! :O
Last month Fast Ford had a V10 Viper engined Sierra. Its lunacy to put such engines in cars like that but I cant help but love them and the idea! Whats your favourite crazy engine swaps?

I might have found a winner on the lunacy stakes, but I dont speak croation so I am struggling to find much info.
Click on the picture to see a video of an old nova with what is reported as a highly tuned RS4 engine in the back.
Unsuprisingly it ended up looking like this...

What is the maddest engine that's gone into a Caterham/Caterhamesque vehicle?
Diddnt Caterham do a very strictly limited edition V8 model?Seen a Dax Rush V8 before. Think its a fellow Scottish Pistonheader that owns it as im sure it had a smiley on the back. Was loud and looked awesome!
ETA Levante! http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/229740/caterham_...

Ah a Cosworth . Is there anything it can't make kickass?
My favourite engine by far its such a versatile engine that fits so well and looks awesome in whatever its in. Even in an RX7. Remember Redline magazine a good few years ago featured one. Blasphemy to some but to me its just making a great car more awesome Big Fat Fatty said:
There was also a mk7 Fiesta that I read about recently that had the entire floorpan of a Sapphire 4x4 cut down to fit the body, with 500bhp or somewhere near.
Then there's MadRod and his top speed Saph, over a 1000bhp from a 2ltr YB and over 200mph!
Long live the Cossie YB!
Im sure that mk7 was featured in PFord mag year and half ago. Green, mean and very very understated! Im a Ford Nut who drives a Swift haha!Then there's MadRod and his top speed Saph, over a 1000bhp from a 2ltr YB and over 200mph!
Long live the Cossie YB!
