GO FOR A VL!!!!!

rb26 would be a difficult engine swap, would be much easier to go an rb25 or put an rb25 head on the rb30 bottom end

or be different and drop a 2JZ in it!

when people ask whats done to it you can say, still just a 3L

Combi van with a Porsche 993 Turbo motor? Air cooled goodness?

What about a E30 BMW with the V8 out of the M5. Then you would need to do some engineering. If you dont want to go that extreme then it is a relatively easy swap with the E36 M3 running gear.

why not do something really different like build a locost?

drop in some form of late model turbo and enjoy wicked handling, awesome speed and massive skids all for very little money!

A friend of mine who now lives in the UK did that with a genuine E30 M3 and 4.0 BMW v8 from a 540 with the very rare 6 speed BMW manual trans. RHD conversion as well. He reckons it was the best car he ever ownd, and he's had lots! I would love to have one like it one day, but the parts to do it are exxy here in Aus.

E30/2JZ would be easier and possibly more fun but not sound as good.

How is the 26 a hard swap?

Anyhow, I am currently considering E36 with a LS1/2.

the only hard part about the 26 swap is the front drive train, but easy fix with that, is grab the 26 head and put it in a 30 bottem end=TORQUE MONSTER.
