that is actually very interesting, high revving v10 is just way too much awesome, especially after the second revamp to allow traction control OFF mode, i might see if i can have a go at measuring a mates m5 to see how big the engine is, i know he is thinking of another car soon so he could possibly be T-boned my a 4x4 in the near future lol.

we've done a few LS, 427, 2jz, 1.5jz, rb30, 3sgte and countless honda swaps in the past and its been great but never a v10, we even had a crashed Ferrari 360 we could of butchered but never got the time to, and sold onto the next poor sod to deal with the Italiano spaghetti they call a wiring harness.



a 2jz in a rx7 is close to being on the line of "too far forward" already, in a smaller car like the frs/brz is just madness, go find a s13 silvia with a rb25 engine swap and it would be pretty spot on for how it handles, and how useless they are for anything part from straight line work,
DO IT!!
