Has anybody ever swapped in a v8 or even a v6?
I just thought I would ask because that would be ridiculously cool.

Google SHOGun........ -
or I think there's some elusive member on here that did a swap with a K something or other... *sarcasm* find Damkid's build thread, he's got a KLZE in his, still FWD and he's in the process of throwing a hairdryer on it.Owner of:

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?Comment

I know about the shogun, I meant besides those lol.
Damkid, what kind of engine is that?Comment

Its a KL-ZE... A mazda K series engine that can be paired with a G-series transmission. That allows a V6 swap without custom axles and the like.1990 White L-Plus 5-speed rust-machine

No G series = mazda. Its the same as the G series on BPs in EGTs and Protege LXs. Only difference is the bell housing shape.1990 White L-Plus 5-speed rust-machine

G-series = a whole lot of stuff. Specifically it's a stock V6 trans (probe, 626, etc) with a 4-cylinder differential (323 GT, Capri XR2, etc) so the axles will fit into it. The axles are different on the V6 transmission.Originally posted by Christ View Post1991 Mercury Capri XR2 "GTXR2" BPT Swapped AWD Conversion

Man, the things they can do with Photoshop nowadays! Almost looks like someone actually shoe-horned a V6 into a Festiva....then added a turbo!
