    Default Post crazy engine swaps

    Post the coolest, craziest engine swaps you have ever seen. (meaning not b16,b18, or k20 or whatever you honda guys do.) I'll start.
    Looks like a normal E30:

    That is cool...good thread by the way.

    Here's another unlikely German with an American V-8.

    Good looking car, yea?




    Hang on, that's not a Volkswagen's instrument cluster.



    Could it be? Why yes it is...




    1991 Volkswagen Golf with a Cadillac Northstar V8! NUTS!

    I bought this 911 because it had a Turbo II swap from an RX7. Then the FC just because if you are going to do a V8, do a V fucking 8 if you know what I mean.

    If we are thinking about the same article it was actually a TT 3.2 swap/R32

    This was annoying to see but cool regardless...RB26DET in a Mustang from Tokyo Drift.




    Minitec does cool stuff...original Mini Coopers with Honda B-series engines.

    Nissan 350Z with a 20b swap.

    Yea, I mean 180 bhp in a car that weighs around 1,500 lbs would be fun and all...problem is, I'm not so confident in the driving dynamics of a car that's almost as long as it is wide.

    I just stumbled across this and it is VERY cool.

    Nissan Sentra SE-R with a VQ35DE swap.



    Stumbled across this insanity while looking for LS1 swapped Volvos.

    LS1 in a Starquest


    VQ30DETT in a 240SX


    4G63 in a Civic


    Found the LS1 Volvo!


    Exige with a K20


    What the fawk! F20C in the Mercedes and a 13b in the BMW!


    Austin Healey Sprite with the F20C


    This is ridiculous...some custom bike with a radial piston engine from a propeller plane.


    Absolutely beastly...e30 with an Alpina B12 5.0 Liter V-12 engine.




    ...holy hot damn, I think this is my favorite one so far. The new Audi S4's 4.2 liter V8 in an Audi Quattro


    I find this one hard to believe. Ferrari Daytona V12 engine in a 1969 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.


    1JZGTE in an old Volvo


    This LS1 Mini is crazy just because of how the engine is set.




    Jeep Wrangler with a Viper V10 swap!



    Karmann Ghia with a 996 911 swap.


    Baller Status...Mercedes E with the SLR's supercharged V8


    Another favorite...DeTomaso Pantera with a BMW M5's V8


    Nissan Sunny with a Ferrari 348 engine???



    This is just ridiculous.


    Volkswagen Vanagon with an Audi V6 swap.



    Not exactly a swap in engines, but a swap in layout...mid-engined Del Sol! Hell it looked like it would be mid-engined, so why not go ahead with it?

    So true.

    I first learned about it many years ago when reading about the Australian Summernats festival.

    Notice the OZ license plate.

    I ought to do a turbine swap in my car and make it really "Born From Jets."

    The 1965 Impala SS they had on Pimp My Ride was the best thing PMR has ever done...6.6 Liter Duramax Diesel swap, biodiesel conversion, and they squeezed out over 800 horses, and some atrocious amount of torque.

    Video and some pictures, though I can't find any good ones.






    Oh nice...
