ShoMeSomeFun Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Why not a Chrysler Conquest with the LSx swap? Or an old BMW 8 series would be pretty kick ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Conquest would be a neat one. I think the biggest issue is finding a donor chassis thats not beat to hell and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 In a couple of years, 500-600 will the norm for alot of cars. Build a 900hp monte. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/ls2sam/gusta_1.png That would be wicked. Just requires allot more parts.

ihateu3 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Theres some pretty clean Z31 300zx's left out there. The engine bay on these cars will accept almost anything, and you wouldn't have to worry about everyone owning a Z31 let alone an LSX Z31!

El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 This. 500+ hp, twin turbo LS1. The wagons actually have GREAT aerodynamics for highspeed, and decent suspension setups. Sleeper from hell. i immediately thought of the same car. +1 for sleeper wagons, though I saw this today and :megusta: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/16/saab-9-3-sport-combi-unlikely-but-awesome-viper-v10-transplant-r/ http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/05/04-saab-9-3-viper-v10.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 why not just buy a clean one owner 2001 or 2002. got mine out the door for 9600 with 37000 miles 6spd leather and all options. if you start with a nicer car it will take less money fixing it to be nice. all thats left is to make power. and these cars are plenty aero effeciant and good looking to boot.

Mattsv8 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 personally having done swaps its proably faster and cheaper to buy one with the eninge u want in it. and the car is made for it so u still get the good handling and great gas mileage. wich is the main reason im building mine turbo with a 76mm. 100 percent daily driver with ablility for a 9 sec pass and 700 ish wheel hp. prety simple really.
