Has anyone thought up any odd swaps to do into cars? Like maybe a Mercedes engine in a 280Z? I know it seems not so out of the box, but has anyone thought of Cobalt SS/Ion Redline swapping an Grand AM? Or maybe an f20c swapped fbody? Or have you seen some odd swaps?
Would a ford Granada with a Koenigsegg CCX engine fit the description?
Maybe something more mundane such as a Jag straight six into a Sprite?
The Bugeye with the Hemi always captures my imagination...
Of course, radial engined road cars are always a big hit.

which one? All real deals cause like, the internet don't lie.
Haha, well this may be true, but if the internet is what told you that it doesnt lie, then are you sure it is to be trusted? But honestly, I was talking about the bugeye. Ive seen the pic of the CCX before and believe it was debunked very shortly after it was viral.
I once put an Olds Toronado 455 engine and transaxle in the back of a '32 Ford pickup. I flipped the headers upside down so they came out the top. Wheelie bars were mandatory...

The Bugeye is real. Friend of mine has seen it running. Two big guys on board from his account.
Myself, I am not a fan of radical engine swaps.

I have a strange desire to put that motor into quite a few different cars... Would even like to re-power a few old speed boats (early cigarette types) with two of them

How was that to drive? Sounds like a cool car. I've always thought it would be fun to do that with a British roadster.
