There was a Dutch madman who put the Lamborghini/Audi V10 in a golf

I donāt know which engine I would choose, wouldnāt need to be a very powerful one though as my target is quite light.
Imagine a Volkswagen XL1 with the performance the looks deserve.
Although i would also replace the logos with mine, get it wrapped matte racing green too
LS series - best engine ever. Swap it into anything for epic greatness. Just my 2 cents
How about a 11000RPM Ducati engine?

Putting the more potent turbo four (with even more power added for good measure) from the Opel Insignia GSi in the smaller Astra (and uprating the chassis and brakes accordingly), creating a new OPC variant, ought to create a true Golf GTI rival. Just make sure that a manual gearbox is offeredā¦ And do a similar thing to the new Corsa for good measure.
Too bad that will probably never be produced and even if itād cost a fortune
Time to revive this I think, we need more of your madness. Hereās my idea:
This sexy beast

Electric BXā¦ YES! As much as I think that electric drive is reasonable and characterless in that car it would actually add character. So incredibly retro-futuristic awesomessā¦

Being at Volvoā¦ Volvo-Yamaha V8 into a 242. Muscle moose!

That would make it a Volvo 282 then.
Nice.
How about a practical swap? LC9 (5.3L all-aluminum Vortec) and 6L80E into a 3rd gen Camaro. Thatās something I would gladly drive every day.

Iām surprised I never saw/posted in this thread. I have a few crazy (and not so crazy) ideas.
Iād love to J35 swap my Accord -> https://youtu.be/qi6oRyIfFRE?t=7m47s
Coyote-swapped Lincoln Mark VIII -> https://youtu.be/PxA06dMZqds
87ā88 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with a 302-based swap and Turbo -> https://youtu.be/Na7yPzK54yU
CLK55 AMG w/ M113K swap -> (stock) https://youtu.be/lvbsDvbrGJ8 or (tuned) https://youtu.be/EdLN1ilZBvQ
So everything above kinda keeps it all in the family. Now hereās the really crazy stuff.
Alfa Romeo GTV6 w/ a VQ37VHR swap
BMW E46 M3 w/ a 2JZ-GTE swap
Chrysler Prowler w/ a 2JZ-GTE swap
Jaguar F-Type w/ a Hellcat/Demon swap (or better yet, the new ZR1ās 755hp LT5)
Porsche Boxster w/ a 605-hp Audi RS7 4.0T swap
Rolls-Royce Camargue w/ a Hellcat/Demon swap (or better yet, the new ZR1ās 755hp LT5)

For the Thunderbird turbo, Iād use an Ecoboost. After all, its lineage does go back to the Lima.

Indeed!ā¢ I thought about that too.
My uncle had 5.0-swapped a Turbo T-Bird back in the day and I remember it being so exciting. So I can only imagine what itād be like with a turbo 5.0.
Funniest thing. Iām here talking about 2JZ swaps, and what pops up in my YouTube subscription right after I post?
A 2JZ swapped G35 Coupe. >>> https://youtu.be/WAD7hY_nfnU
I think that could be a sign.

I have been considering, but not serious yet about swapping in a coyote 5.0 into my 99 Nissan Frontier, along with a few other upgrades.
That is if I can find a big enough shoe horn

I think the current Ram 1500 would be a better use of the Hellcat engineā¦ Given that itās already available in the Grand Cherokee, surely it must be time for the SRT Ram to make a comeback after a decade of being out of production?
So basically, everything gets a Hellcat engine. That or the LT5.

If you can put a LS7 or a Jag 6.0 V-12 in a Mazda MX5, there should be enough space in a bigger car.
