Reminds me of my favorite "modded" off-roader I bumped into. Riding ATVs in KY with some friends we were met coming the other way by a Suzuki Sumuri on a custom frame with tractor tires and a Cummins school bus diesel engine! Sadly I did not have a camera.
It was like meeting Sasquatch! The driver stopped and shared some "homebrewed alcohol" with us. I abstained.

What engine would you choose?? Has anyone been able to fit a H6 into one of the twins?

Out of curiosity I looked into this swap for a little while, and it seems like it might be just as much work as any other swap. Although some places quote that Japanese car as using the stock trans, saying it bolted up. I couldn't find enough info on the bolt patterns of either the FA20 or the EZ36R to say whether it is possible before my curiosity ran out though. The most I got out of it is that the newer EZ36R would be the best bet, although the older EG33 is pretty cheap and has been done a number of times into a bunch of different vehicles. I believe @PERRIN has some experience with an EZ30 swap... But I think the bottom line is that it would probably run somewhat more expensive than an LS swap. EDIT: found the car from Japan |

With the H6 swap you do keep the horiginal design for the car with a engine that has a very low center of gravity.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of an H6 in this car. I think it would be awesome. I just think it would be one of the more expensive options. As far as power goes, just about any stock LS engine will rip the H6 pound for pound. I think to make it worthwhile, the EZ36 will have to be built and blown, which is yet more investment. Like I said, I love the idea, and if I had an unlimited budget I would absolutely consider it. But I would probably also consider a Porsche first. |

I'd like to see a Fiat Abarth 1.4t multiair or an ecoboost/mazdaspeed engine swap.

vq37hr because lightweight v6 that had more than 350 crank hp would be plenty enough
