I'd like a 505HP Viper V-10/T56 in a 1968 Dart with some mini-tubs...

I'm actually building something similar. 89 RCSB Silverado with a Vortec 454 and 4L80-E.

As for the dream conversions...

Ariel Atom with one of those little 2.6L V8s thats Twin Turbo



240Z with RB26

Delorean with a hover conversion and flux capasitor!!! In reality though; a DeLorean with a TPE-331-1 turbine engine with either an electric or hydralic propultion system. I've kicked around the idea and would have probably done it already but info on these cars are scarce and I don't want to have to buy one, tear it apart just to find out that there isn't enough room...

When I finish with my current LSX swap, I'm looking at dropping either a 3.8 SC or a Northstar into my 93 Saturn beater.

Go with the 3.8 V6. Northstars are a turd motor with headgasket problems(go look at Cadillac ads on autotrader and you'll see a lot of them have had the motor rebuilt).

.How about a nice 427 SB Ford with some 225cc AFR heads in my 03 mach 1 or better yet a cobra kit car or my favorite of all a 426 hemi in my 1988 Aries K or something a little different a 4.0 I6 from a jeep stroked and bored to a 4.7 with some head work and a single turbo.

There are alot of guys running 800 hp over $50k sand rails that would beg to differ. Plus its a V8!

You would need an LSX stretched all the way to 511 cubes to move that big Roller! A 572 BBC with a blower is a much bettter choice for a car that big!

I don't consider the 2JZ Supra engine "cool" at all. Does it sound good?? Nope. Does it have a good powerband?? Hell no. Can it make power?? Sure, but so can plenty of other engines. Not to mention Supra trolls are some of the most retarded ricers out there. LSX >>>>>> 2JZ

Even though you said no LSX's, my dream swap would be a '78 Bandit Trans Am with an LS7 and a T56. And full bolt ons of course

How about a wild 455 ci LS2 based stroker paired with a TH400. In a 1984-1988 rcsb 2wd Toyota pickup(tiny little lightweight truck). I'd keep it looking stock(no tubs, no cage, etc) and it would make an awesome sleeper. I've always had a soft spot for these trucks, first vechile I ever drove was my dad's tan 1985 2wd, 5 speed, carbed 22r, xtra cab, short box truck. They got the lines dead right with that truck, its a very clean, proportional, and minimalist looking design.

And my toy would be

A terminator powered e46 m3. With a the new 3L whipple.
