If only it wasn't so damn expensive, I haven't even looked into the specifics yet.
Pic unrelated but awesome.

Why dream and not just do it at your own pace?
Pursue those dreams, you're only getting older

My dream car right now would be a Factory Five GTM with a twin turbo LS engine in it but I'll probably settle for a Northstar swapped Fiero when one crosses my path.

I've had great cars, but I still want my childhood dream - a 2Gb Eclipse with a medium turbo like a GT2871R and supporting mods with no exterior mods other than a debadge, wheels, small front lip, and (depending on color) a painted-over center "taillight" piece.
By today's standards, those cars were ridiculously small.
I remember coming home from high school in 2003 with a new Sport Compact Car magazine on my front porch with Roy Narvaez's GSX on the cover and I was sold.
I'd love to swap a n/a 3-rotor 20b-rew into my rx-8. The chassis is so much fun, and throwing a NA 3-rotor in it would give it WOWSA torque. That, combined with getting rid of the turbos for a n/a tune would leave the car with just the oomph it needed, a nice booster for reliability, and would leave the weight distribution nearly unchanged.
And if I really wanted to turbo it, the 20b is pretty nice for that too, but I'd honestly be happy with ~200hp ~300ft/lbs of torque from a n/a engine and the peace of mind knowing I'm not at particularly high risk for having the thing explode under turbo load.

>LS1/LS4
Did you mean LT1/4? LS4's are transverse.
A chopped, slammed tube frame LWB first gen Chevy Van huffing to the drag strip on its stock engine, and when I'm there I start a motorized mechanism which opens the cargo doors, raises a big air intake in the roof and slides a J85 jet engine two feet out of the cargo area so that it has enough room up front to suck in air through the roof behind the passenger area, and then I run a few jet quarter miles down the strip and huff back home on the stock engine without police ever suspecting a thing. Right now I'm leaning towards calling it Astral Hammer and giving a deep black paintjob with heavy metal space airbrush paintings on it.

I actually know a person that is doing an E24 S38B38 engine swap.

I'd love that in pic related, although I'd prefer a 1-UZ to keep it in the family.

I've always seen LS series engines in FR cars though?
>>14774931
Yeah, but those aren´t LS4´s. LS 1 through 9 are all applicable, except the LS4, which is transverse, a PITA to fit into anything longitudinally. the LT1 and LT4, the newer direct injection models, are longitudinal though.
>>14774931
the ls4 was used in ff impala ss and the like

>>14774952
Ah my bad
I looked at the LS1 and somewhere I goofed and threw in the LS4 for some reason
>>14774777
problem is, 20b swaps are so damned expensive into rx-8's. Ah well, I guess that's why they call it a dream build (however impractical it is, haha)
280zx with no rust, use it as my DD and slowly restore it. Nothing major but just replacing all the old parts at a comfortable pace. Then once in good running condition turbo (if not already) and do suspension and other normal quality improvements and just enjoy a nice comfortable daily driver without worrying about breaking down and still having fun.
>>14772045
I've got a list of them. From a 2.3 DISI swapped NA MX-5 to a V6 Alfa 145 to a VTEC Trabant. Most dreamy would probably be a V12 swapped W126 2-door, or a Hemi Dart.
Defender 90 and swap the entire drivetrain from a Land Cruiser/LX into it.
1947-1953 Chevy 3100.

How to into cars and restoration?
First post on /o/ - I've always wanted to restore a 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 Fastback, Eleanor Edition but I know nothing about cars and I wouldn't know where to begin. Are there any resources I could read up on for understanding (classic) cars and restoration? Thanks

>1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 Fastback, Eleanor Edition
Go home, boomer.
I can't stand eleanor clones. Every single fucking car show has one and it doesn't even look good, it looks shit and is tired as fuck. If you're going to restore a car pick something a little more interesting than a fucking classic mustang and don't ruin a classic mustang by making it an eleanor clone.
>>14776910
Alright, no Eleanor then. How to into cars and restorations?
>>14776892
The remake Eleanor is so goddamn ugly. Every part of it, just WHY?

Do this over a LS for the sound and the revs and just because LS swaps are meme at this point.
Engine within 20lb of the Fa20, moving stuff to the trunk and deleting systems could get the weight down and get closer to 50:50 weight distribution.
91 JDM integra pristine as fuck.
That is all.
some guy tried to swap a Lateral LS4 into a Mr2
wouldn't work.
by the time you did it the car would be vastly changed structurally wise.

A Volvo 242 GT, luckily they aren't expensive.
>>14772045
Good luck fitting a V8 in the engine bay without serious firewall cutting and removing the boot. Make your dream a reality and look into the 2GR-FE V6 with a supercharger kit from the Lotus Evora S. Bolts in nicely and is a more common swap. Lighter block than the original 3SGTE too.
>>14781499
I'm pretty sure some V-ates could fit. Pic related.
If a big V6 can fit, so can a tiny V8.
