That one's real; Hot Rod Magazine had it show up in one of their articles on LSx swaps.

V8 Insight?

Pretty sure that one's a Honda four banger.

Stopped in to Tex Racing's shop in Ether, N.C to drop a tranny for a rebuild, and came across a very nicely done Midget with a Buick GNX turbo 6. I'm sure that one was a real experience to drive.

The owner of that one is on the ls1tech.com boards. He was thrilled to get in the magazine. From what I hear, it's a blast to drive as well.

Tell us it ain't so MG TD. It looks remarkably stock when the bonnet is up.

I can play: Austin Healey 100/6 w/ a 502 Chevy Ramjet.

I don't have pics, but on a tour of Wheel to Wheel in Detroit several years back, they had a Chevy Sprint with a big block.

I remember a 60's/early-70's Corvair that was featured as a flashback in Hot Rod in the 80's. I think its license plate said "FUBAR 2" and it had a blown V8 in the rear with a sweet Mad Max style blower scoop.

No pics of it out on the web, but it really made an impression on me back then.

I'm pretty sure that's a fake. The proportions of the engine look like a different scale than the Mini. And the hood opening is Photoshoppy to me.
