Confusing Engine Swaps thread....

[Fett4Real]

I think he said swaps that dont make sense....I have seen a z06 motor in a EK civic hatch...RWD...show car...complete with gawdy sparkle paint it was terrible waste of a motor and car.

Chevy 350 in an original Mini is up there for me. I also can't stand the small block V8 swaps into older Porsche's.

A lot of swaps make sense for motorsport / cost purposes.

Not exactly a confusing swap but i have the urge to post these.

I like 4ages in ae86 but i'm not a purist by any means. I'd love to have one with a v8 swap to thrash around with.

Dat sound.

Speaking of confusing...how did they get the WS6 into a FD...seeing as how that is a handling package for Pontiacs and in no way denotes an engine


Back on topic,

I always enjoy the Subaru powered VW buses, although that almost makes sense.

We have all seen the hayabusa motor swapped into small cars, that almost makes sense too...

Here's a confusing one for you, a 540 CuIn BigBlock stuck in a G-body elcamino (78-???)...how is that confusing you say? My boss owns it and refuses to put larger than 235's on the back, so if at any point you explore the last half of the skinny pedal you roast tires...even at freeway speeds, he intentionally has the kickdown limited to WTFO throttle, if the trans downshifted under throttle it would be really bad,

Man, is that thing's gas mileage worse than a small jet?

A Jaguar 5.3l V12 might be easier...
