Hey all this is more out of intrigue then anything else at the min but just wondered who has done what in this regard? i remember there was a chap on here who was going to put a vg30de in a old ford Anglia :w00t: now that’s what i call a sleeper

 

has anyone else done any interesting engine swaps?

I've had a mini with a Rover v8 in,sat in the rear seats to drive it! Also a Rover in a Manta (shock!):chinese:Oh and the V6 Cossy Transit I built!

wow rover v8 in a mini sounds a whole lotta fun!

I still regret not buying the 'Cossie Bus'. Timing was right but my business partner said no. Drive a Scudo ffs!!

capri with a vg lump and fairlady rear sub frame is something that often plays on my mind...

I got beaten in my Lotus Sunbeam at Santa pod, by a horrible, tatty dull green skoda estelle, that i later found had a 911 porche engine in.

 

Always like putting a zed TT into a MK2 escort, but keeping it looking either an rs / mexico

lol a true sleeper that and again not a mix you would expect really

fitted a 3 litre capri motor into a MK1 bullnose ford transit pick-up...awesome from the lights but with the bed empty could'nt drive it in the wet:thumbdown:

sounds crazy bri but and as you say tail happy i bet!! i think the capri is an ideal ford doner car too as you can get away with allot in that engine bay

 

also does anyone know of any bigger engines that are mainly used in some of the more common ford conversions?

i had a mk2 golf with a 2.8 vr6 engine in it, was very fast

yep lol that sounds very entertaining this is what im looking at really, bigger engines in smaller cars :)
