Lotus 7 replica with a K24 engine and some rwd transmission (or a 9000rpm duratec 2.0L). Build it as close to book size as I can.

Convert my XR4Ti into a full cosworth sierra with a 500hp YB.

This. Not really a project or anything exciting but I could really use a truck and my grandpa had an old Ford truck kinda like that one. And I have very fond memories of riding around the farm in the truck.

working on my z car=/
I'm too tight on money right now, and the dd needs tires asap. AND I need to check valve lash in the DD. AND I need to do some other deferred maintenance on it, not urgent stuff but I want to have the DD for a long time so I like to take care of it.
I need to post my z engine and trans on here so I can start setting aside for the rb swap=]

A Yugo that I put more than 250miles on between serious problems.

A Prius with all the hybrid junk gutted out, fuel cell and huge radiator under the hood, Cadillac Eldorado FWD 500 V8 (8.2 L!!!!) powertrain in the hatch built to 500 hp or so with electric cutout exhaust. Custom rear suspension with the biggest tires I can make fit back there. Steel wheels so I can run Toyota hubcaps. On a loud day, the tires would be the only give away, other than a Prius capable of picking the front end off the ground. Yes I have measured, it will fit.

Locost 7, with a 1st gen Taurus SHO engine all cammed out to take advantage of its 10k rpm revving abilities.

Hell I put 120 miles on a Fiat 850 today at a punishing 18psi of boost!

250 out of an NA Yugo should be a cakewalk.

Moving the engine from the front of the MINI and putting it in the back where it belongs powering the rear wheels. The longer it goes unsold, and the more bourbon I drink, the more I think about it

1UZFE in the Jensenator. Right behind that, R1 Yamaha powered A Mod. EFI on the XS650. EFI on the 907 Lotus in Casper. 1990/91 Trooper with a DOHC 'Zuzu motor. I'd still like to build another rotary Spitfire, too.

For LeMons, a Pinto with a Turbo Coupe motor. Anybody have a line on a cheap Pinto in the Southeast?

Aghhhhhh! Glad you (OP) asked. This has been haunting me. I have been trying to come up with a build plan for the new International Harvester pickup. I wake up thinking about this and can't go back to sleep. It is 310ci Rear Mount 101mm Wastegate Popping Liberty Shifted S10 sleep depriving torture.
