For those who like lots of fab work and engine swaps

This guy put a V6 out of a Probe GT into a Festiva. In stock trim that's 200hp in a car that came stock with like 59hp or something like that. The sick part is that at the end he's talking about turboing it and mentions a Probe that's being parted out that made 550whp...imagine that kind of power in a 1900lb car :eek:

Damnit...it's like a 70 page thread...it's probably worth registering for if you like this sort of thing. By comparison it's nothing as rad as Kevin Doe's RX7 but it's pretty damn cool. It's so damn big he has to do a ton of clearancing and it still barely fits in the engine bay.

I didn't get see the thread but the idea reminds me of the Ford Shogun.

I remember that one..The engine was located in the rear of the car and drove the rear wheels..:bigthumb

Yeah the SHOguns where nasty but the engines where bone stock but they made a bit more power than this engine is making.. I hope the follows through with the turbo swap..that'll be crazy.

Here's a video of him pulling through a couple gears. Obviously it looks like the speedo is off but you can hear 1st gear is pretty useless. http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg162/damkid_photos/?action=view&current=MVI_2585.flv

Here you can see pics of it here http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg162/damkid_photos/
