rustywelder Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 For those who think swapping a new hellcat engine into an old charger isn't wild enough.1650 hp charger anyone? This is probably the most jaw dropping restomod build I've ever seen, not only in terms of power output but build and design quality as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

2qwik4u Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Nice. Coolest motor swap I saw in person was an LS1 shoehorned into a 2nd gen Miata. The guy did a phenomenal job of it too, it looks like it came out of the factory that way. He autocrosses it against Cobra replicas. You can always tell when he's on the gas because the car just leaps forward. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My favourite that I've seen in person is an Austin mini that had an integra type r engine swapped in. With the Nash Metro sporting a 500ish hp blown hemi close behind.

T0M4ever Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Shame they put it in something with the aerodynamic properties of a brick though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Par429 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hey- Coolest engine swap I ever saw was a Jaguar V-12 installed in the front of a 1965 Corvair. Superbly done. And it still looked stock from the outside. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Shame they put it in something with the aerodynamic properties of a brick though :monkeydance:/> Heck, with that kind of horsepower, even a brick could do warp 9! :woot.gif:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tosouthern66 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Shame they put it in something with the aerodynamic properties of a brick though :monkeydance:/>/> That brick will still rip you one even box stock! The one concern I have is that that chassis wont be worth anything if they open that motor up all the way. It will be twisted tighter than a pretzel. But she does look cool!

I've had the same thought. As cool as this thing is, I have a suspicion that 1600 HP in anything other than a purpose built drag car is just going to convert tyres into smoke and not forward motion.

SBARC Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The rotary engine is pretty cool.....but the LS engine is better. I'm impressed how nice is looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I could have bought a 93 RX-7 from a friend. Was worried about the engines so I didn't buy it. Engine blew shortly after. Was replaced under a full warranty that was transferable. Gerrrgrggehehegevevdvdbvdv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
