what would you guys & girls think of a muscle car with a import motor?

JEV · 11-07-2006, 06:39 PM

whats your thoughts?

dsm_tuner260 · 11-07-2006, 06:41 PM

STUPID that way. but a rx7 with ls1 is good. only caus i know someone that did it and its badass

sagvr4 · 11-07-2006, 07:14 PM

i have no problems with the RB stang from F&TF3, its pretty quick in real life too

GSRTURBO · 11-07-2006, 07:55 PM

I just dont know what real reason would be behind it. Why? to be more original? maybe Im just closed minded but maybe I dont really see a good reason why??

beak · 11-07-2006, 07:56 PM

I mean, what would you do? Put a D16 "VTECH" motor into a Hearse? Usually you put the bigger motors into the smaller cars, not vice versa.

No?

JEV · 11-07-2006, 08:05 PM

i was just wondering.big bay =more space which=more mods.
i was just thinking.

dsm_tuner260 · 11-07-2006, 08:13 PM

space isn't a big factor in what your limited to do to a car to get it more hp. you can always move parts to get something else in. what the factor in the engine into a big muscle car is weight size of the car. yea you could put a rb into a muscle car or 2jz but those engines are not to designed to move a vehcile like that with out a lot of modification.

JEV · 11-07-2006, 08:18 PM

i wonder if a RB26DET will fit

dsm_tuner260 · 11-07-2006, 08:19 PM

into what?

JEV · 11-07-2006, 08:22 PM

inside a muscle cars engine bay

dsm_tuner260 · 11-07-2006, 08:25 PM

with out haveing the drive shaft custom made and re modified front end. no but you could with a lot of money but why really
i know you said you was just wondering

beak · 11-07-2006, 08:27 PM

I'm sure the RB would fit, but bleh. Put that RB into a 240 instead, IMO

JEV · 11-07-2006, 08:32 PM

strong engine.but yeah, i'll just stick to the original.i actually don't like engine swaps.i don't hate engine swaps, just like to keep the cars originally made engine.
engine swaps make you wonder which engine works better with which car.

sagvr4 · 11-07-2006, 09:28 PM

the mustang in Tokyo Drift has a single turbo RB26 in it, of course they will fit, muscle car bays are big, only advantage i can see is being able to tuck it up real nice and close to the firewall for weight balance

GSRTURBO · 11-08-2006, 12:46 PM

yeah maybe im off, but putting a RB into a old skool isnt going to get you much but originality points. V8 motors are cheap and plentiful and easy to work on / drop in / use factory parts. imaho of course.
