Interesting engine swaps(Fiction or non Fiction doesnt matter)

[megotmea7]

the viper motored integra is a fake, the engines scale is off, and you can see where it was edited around the valve covers and where the strut tower ba passses over the engine

Anyone know of a how to guide on the swap of a 2jz engine into the body of a rx7?

I once saw a 454 in a Nash Metropolitan.

I've seen the old Honda 1500cc mills powering what were basically wheelchairs with bigger tires. The guy claimed it'd do 110mph, althouh I imagine you'd have to have some serious guts to try that...

Somewhat less weird, my 302 is an ex-Granada engine...

Bikes with car engines. Like the one with the Chevy 350! Pretty amazing ride that! I think it's called something like Big-daddy-hog, correct me if I'm wrong.

Similar concept from a major manufacturer: the Viper powered, Tomahawk!

Have you seen one in person? I'm thinking you must have to be pretty bow-legged or flexible to mount a 502 cubic inch V8.

One can imagine torque steer is only a footstep away.

That is CRAZY! Even more amazing are the project cars under 'V8fools'. The RWD conversions and Mini-funnycar dragsters. Very amusing site

Uh, it's pretty wide...502hp and 567tq too! Dry weight is 1300lbs, add at least another 50 or so for wet weight. Pretty scary. Hell I'm scared to ride one with much more than 60hp or that weighs much over 450lbs.

Look at the spec sheet, it's pretty awe-inspiring. Check out that "wonderful" gas mileage, too:

You should see this racing series theyve got here called the Aussie Racing Cars, basically small, tubular chassis's fitted with bike engines and fibreglass bodies either styled like an FJ Holden, 1940 Ford, AU Falcon or VY Commodore. They weigh 450kg and have a 16V twin cam Yamaha motor revving to 12,000rpm producing 125hp

SVT Cobra, w/ supercharger into a 98 ford ranger. Known as the mini lightning, only problem, not enough weight

Kind of a super-shifter kart. Is it run on an oval or road-course? There is a racing series with limited audience here in the States, using small tubular chassis and V8s in the top models. They're called Sprintcars and race a dirt oval. Other than the short straights they're usually sideways. Pretty exciting to watch, complete with almost guaranteed crashes.

I've also seen a Cavlier with a 572 and a Ford Focus with a 5.0 in them. Both converted to RWD, crazy stuff.
