ok first question is how much of the car are you wanting to cut up and still keep focus about it? are you keeping stuff like power steering and ac? do you want fwd or rwd?

of the top of my head these will fit tho
5.0
2.5 v6
2.3 dura
4.6 mustang motor
4.6 terminator motor
chevy small block will fit
and an rb26.

If you swap in one of those Hayabusa V8 motors (on the website they have one bolted to a MTX trans) I will Paypal you $10 to help out!

That is basically two Hayabusa heads on a custom V8 block. The cost-$28K! Not for the budget minded!!!

ok yea would want RWD manual trans
but i want to keep the interior parts focus...

i dont plan to build a track car with nothing inside, i want like a sleeper car.. with gauges of course to keep everything under control..
but i would want to buy: FOR EXAMPLE...a new mustang v8 engine with trans then have it converted to RWD

JD Motorsports 1-888-907-0477 in Florida does these conversions. They quoted to Kugel Kompenents about $20,000 to do the complete swap. Just the parts from Kugel list for around 5500 less motor and trans.

That is an amazing engine, very cool find. If you go to the website theres a history page detailing swapping it into a Caterham 7. Interestingly the engine it replaced was a Zetec and it looks just huge in comparison. Very cool.
