Yes you are. You are on a completely different page. You don't want more power. Fine, that's cool. I said that the engine will be the least of problems for people who wanna make more power. I think the tranny and maybe the rear end will be a bigger issue.

OBVIOUSLY im not mechanically minded and know that a porsche engine will be hard to engine swap, but is it really unable to be done? what would you have to do to be able to put a porsche engine in the FT??
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible

I think you are completely off base with your analogy. If the porche engine can mount up with the FT's tranny, then it's cake. Porsche engines are longitudinally mounted as well, just in the rear instead of the front.
