Morning people here's a quick question how hard do you think it would be to fit a v8 shall we say like this one

In to a Calibra running rwd

[marianv]

wow that would be a killer .
honestly i dont know , lots of work.

[KERR_SE9]

Anything can be achieved with the right amount of time and a lot of money, the Monaro would probs be cheaper, cool idea though

[tosh1985]

[rich30mex]

[tosh1985]

And why is there no build thread for it on here and if you say he's not a member your in trouble u should be promoting the club and dragging new blood in also make Andy's job as hard as possible make him earn his voluntary wages lol

I'd go down the route of fitting a Lexus V8 (cheap and powerful) to a FWD gearbox (Toyota if I remember rightly) then using the shafts and front struts from the Toyota as well - in the rear of your car. You'd then have rear toe adjustment off the track rods ends which would let you control bump steer. That's the physical mating side of it.

But yeah I don't think the result would be brilliant for the work involved.

Brilliant idea, and no way economical for your bank balance and would never see a return BUT would be a total one off, very different and your own, no one else will have done it they way you have you just have to way up the long term build, budget, are you willing to wait it out for the final result, would be great to see

would the calibra shell take that power ?

i think a scobby or evo with a calibra body stuck over the power chain would be much more fun
