I think many of not all of these have been done to some degree.. there has been swap using diesel engine in cars already.
There is not much that will surprise you now adays as far as swap and conversions.

1. 69 camaro with a pro charged ls2 or ls3. Pro touring style.
2. 98 up s-10 would be cool.
3. 67 chevy step side with a LM7 or LQ4 street truck.
4. A mallet Saturn sky LS2.
And for another drag car I would love to pick up an old pinto and put a mild ls1 in it. And leave it looking junky. But fast.

This was one I had to sleep on. I was thinking about the Viper and the Skyline has been done.
1. Shelby Cobra
2. Ferrari Enzo
3. Buggati Veyron
4. 1966 Jaguar E-Type
5. Plymouth Superbird
As for that Prius, that would have to be all out over the top, 572 BBC. There is a ricer car show on Wed. nights here, and I managed to convince one of them my buddy had a Prius with a 572 and a Cadillac FWD transmission in the back of the Prius.

Id like to build a twin turbo LS3 powered sprint car. moderate budget, something in the 1000hp range in a 1500 lb chassis. Shouldnt have any trouble taking out the arial atom. Street legal of course, which has been done plenty. This is actually high on my list of a realistic build as soon as I buy a house. Like everything else these days, mass production of chassis has dropped the price on a roller substantially ( you can even get a chinese built thing...) it would be hard to build something that would out run that 0-180ish. Thinking that chassis but instead of a live rear, going with a 'vette IRS set up. summer ground pounder, drag strip terror!
