Mix and match
What are some vehicles that you would put a diff engine in that would be fun.
I would love to take one of the old school splash ford rangers and put a newer 2.0t in it.
You all know this stuff better than me. What’s some good realistic swaps that could happen?

Re: Mix and match
Im tempted to put a turbocharged 4g63 in my 67 charger. It would get much better gas mileage and likely be quicker than the the 440 that is in it.
The other is the Monti. Im leaning 6g74 from newer montero, but a LS swap keeps creeping in.

Re: Mix and match
A 2 door Raptor Bronco would be a death sentence waiting to happen hah. Way too short wheel base! One of the guys at work has a Raptor 4 door and that one is bad enough.
Re: Mix and match
Those new twin turbocharged Viper powered cars ive seen lately do look pretty good.

I always wanted to put an LS into a jeep.
Once I get my chevelle, if it doesn't have a big block, I'm doing a LS swap.
I love seeing a LS in 3rd gen camaros.

Re: Mix and match
I think a 6G72TT DeLorean would be cool!

Speaking of LS and Hummer, I think it'd be fun to take a single cab 1st gen Colorado and swap over the H3 suspension and V8. I know someone did the axles and suspension already. It was damn near a bolt on deal. I don't remember which engine they used though. GM did a factory V8 Colorado, but it only came in extended and quad cab.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Re: Mix and match
If they did a factory V8 it should be an easy as hell swap I would think. I gotta believe the firewall forward is the same regardless of cab config.Jeff V. wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 1:33 pmThat's called a Hummer.Jason wrote:I always wanted to put an LS into a jeep.

Re: Mix and match
The only way I'd even kind of consider it is if I wrecked the H3. I'd keep the running gear and scrap the body.
Seeing as I'm probably going to sell it before winter, that's pretty unlikely.

Re: Mix and match
Loving these ideas.
What about a suburban with a big block. They use to! Now they went diesel.

Re: Mix and match
Yes, a simple NA would be fun. Imagine a 75 Mivec with about 300hp. Only a couple pounds heavier and would be a riot.Chris GTO TT wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 3:37 pmI always felt like an NA 6G72 DOHC would be fun in a StarQuest 220hp is over 30 more than they came with factory and the engine can actually rev compared to the Forklift engine they put in it lol

Re: Mix and match
Do they still do the 502? Maybe not but be a lot cooler if they did.Chris GTO TT wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 4:21 pmGM doesn't make a 'big block's anymore besides their current 'small blocks' make more HP and similar amounts of tq as the old big blocks
