Can I see some crazy Drivetrain swaps?!


Recommended Posts

i got a handfull.

here is a mid 50s or so VW bug, converted to a front engine rear wheel drive custom turbo

the engine is from a type 2 gold and the rear axle from a toyota supra

this is an acura type S 8 cylinder im working on (almost done too)

it runs the stock engine in the front and a civic engine in the rear which makes it AWD

(even with two engines it still can't keep up with a blown mopar)

heres a ford focus with a blown 572 big block from a bigfoot monster truck in it

(first swap i ever did)

Is this crazy enough? 351 Cleveland, fuel injected with a belt driven supercharger... Shoehorned into an '87 T-bird. I've done a little more since this pic was taken, the fuelrails have been added and the distributor has been wired. Unfortunately, this project, like so many others was packed away when I moved and, for the time being, is in storage...

Wow!! Guys. What happened to that super bee? Wagoneer81 That's perfect. I love everything about it.

it started life as a (i think) maisto remote control 2010 challenger

i had gotten a superbee in on trade that was allready missing the drivetrain so it was a perfect candidate

after i removed the chally body and made some blocks for the 'bee to sit on which (after radiussing out half the rear quarters) dropped right on

I posted this in another thread about a week ago that seems to have gotten buried...

Not finished yet, but the plan is to keep everything bone stock on the "T", except the engine and trans. Did it more as a joke...

Obviously, in reality, it wouldn't be too practical...

I'd bet if it were real, and the ring and pinion and wheels would hold up, she'd do some pretty mean burnouts! LOL :lol:
