A little gearhead game...What's your favorite car/engine swap?

Ford RS/ST V12 for me.

Ls1 Skyline for me. Can't say I'd pay for it, but I'd certainly drive the wheels off it.

And a happy belated birthday to you Ovid. 

In reply to RevRico :

Not belated...364 days early.

Thanks tho..

Is there a game to associate last 4 of social with a suspension setup? I'm gathering data .. err, interested in what people's car would be!

Scion TC with a 7M for me. Eh, no thanks, I'm more of a June 18 kind of guy.

I always figured a 3.0 Ford/Yamaha SHO V6 backed by the T5 out of a Turbocoupe would be just about perfect for a mk1 Ford Capri.  SN95 struts, hubs, brakes, and custom control arms for the front to fix a number of problems with the Capri's front suspension and brakes seemed good.  As for the rear?  Probably an SN95 or similar 8.8 narrowed to fit the Capri, maybe with a three-link rear utilizing a torque arm.  

Am I doing this right?  I think I'm doing this right...

A K20 R35 GTR. Well at least it'll become reliable...

The extended version uses you mother’s maiden name for tire options. 

Damn that engineless Lambo just wound up with a 13B.....that probably has bad tip seals.

7M into a Focus RS? That's dumb. 

I thought this was an actual questions. 

13b in a Scion ?

If I had a 13b, I'd swap it into a dumpster instead. No reason to waste a good Scion.

13b in a WRX?  lol

A D16 Scion TC......ugh

Genesis RB20? That sounds half-right.

At least it'll use the same amount of oil and have the same number of non-broken ringlands.

Wait.... that's an oxymoron right? I didn't think such a thing existed.

I find it hard to believe that people don't see these "quizzes" as the info phishing attempts that they are.

Having seen a bare LS2 next to an EG Civic's engine bay this weekend, I'm wondering why that's not a common swap.

In reply to Ovid_and_Flem :

1UZ FRS/BRZ

I could get down with that

13B Civic.  Gross.

1jz Supra feels pretty conventional to me... At least it's in the heart of my favorite era. 

I think the engine swapped car/idea that has stuck with me the longest was an SHO-swapped 1g Esprit. That was a long time ago and I probably wouldn't pick that motor today, but the idea of that type of car with that type of engine still resonates strongly. What I'm saying is that I'm watching Evora prices.

Some random person on the internet knows another random persons Month and Day (but not year) of birth! 

I can see the money being drained out of my account as we speak!

HINT: Many here have their full birth date MM/DD/YYYY in their profile.

I think I got about the second lamest swap the survey could come up with.

i put a 70 455 buick into a 77 Datsun 280Z. that was my favorite swap...11.9 at 116 for $300...
