Given the opportunity - what engine would you stick in what car, for fun?

I'm in love with the idea of an F20 in a BMW E36 328 Sport. Saw a vid of one 18 months or so ago, goose bumps.

(into anything without one :D)
 
M3 Evo engine into a E36 Touring, very almost went and did this.

Would love to stick a 2.7 twin turbo S4 engine, running gear and rear suspension into mine.
 
Whizz bang pop thou :(


S62 -> E30 325i Cab :cool:



Can't beat the 80's looks, unfortunatly now banned as it slices people in half :(
 
There was a thread a little while ago about a Triumph TR6 rebuild with a BMW M3 engine in it - I very much liked that idea - was done very tastefully too.

Not sure about any others.
 
Always fancied the idea of a GT28RS 1.8T in a Corrado with a rallye floor pan and 4WD, dunno if anyone has done it but it sounds like a neat combo.

I know the 4WD/rallye conversion has been done on the rado a couple of times before, but not sure if it was mated to a BT 1.8.
 
i always fancied the idea of a 13B-REW (twin turbo wankel from the rx7) in a car like the lotus 7.... small light engine in a small light car + silly power :D
 
One of Honda's screamiest VTEC engines, probably the S2k engine, in an MX-5. :cool:

And before anyone says it, the mk1 MX-5 weighs less than a ton. Lack of torque won't be an issue :D

guy up near me put a 3.2 evo engine into an E30 touring with full E30 M3 suspension and some split rim BBS alloys. V Fast and uber street sleeper as the bodywork wasnt in that good condition ;)

will see if i can dig up some pics
 
I'm putting an Altezza rs200 engine/gearbox in an early 80's celica, will look crap but rwd, ~200bhp and ~1000kg should be fun :).
