I don't get the swaps.

For me swapping must make sense or have a certain purpose but random swaps just for doing it... I can get the fun some might have, but it never really is that fun, it can be very frustrating.

Swaps that make sense to me:

- Lotus Elise/Exige with Honda F20C/F22C
- BMW 1M E82 with BMW S65
- BMW Z4 E89 with BMW S65
- BMW 3 Series with BMW S62
- BMW M3 E46 with BMW P60
- Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 with EJ20/EJ22/EJ25 (until new WRX with new FA engine)
- Honda NSX with Mugen MF408S (longitudinally mounted)
- Porsche 987/981 with 997/991 GT3 engine


I wouldn't swap any engine any how. Weight distribution is an important thing. It is not only about more power/torque, handling must not be affected IMO. But if it is only for drag-racing, a GT-R will do it fine.
