bschiltz Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've always had fantasies about a BMW E series with a 351W in it. Or a RX8 with a LS7. Last would be a turbo'd Sportster Evo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katman Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 1973 MGB with a Rover V8 and the Fast Cars suspension. 1972 240Z with an M70 BMW V12. 2004 Ferrari 360, stock, with Jessica Alba in the passenger seat ('cause, well the engine is already cool).

datsunlover Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ulitma GTR with an LS7 or an LT5, its not really a hybrid, but damn is it cool. Have you seen the "DuRocco"? [EDIT TO ADD LINK] http://www.durocco.com/ Twinstar style car done on the cheap with 2 VW engines. SWEET!!! I have seen something similar though... in an old (1985?) VW&Porsche mag they featured an 84 twin engine Jetta. VERY cool idea IMO and it's tottally sleaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeedForZ Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 You guys listed some great choices.(I have never seen that Attack kit car, NICE) My personal fantasy hybrid would be a TOYOTA PRIUS, powered by one(or maybe two if there is room) HUGE gasoline motor(s) with exhaust pipes sticking out. 5.7 liter SBC times two. Start the car and watch everyone in the parking lot duck down to the ground. Heehee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I would have to say a 2jz miata with like 900hp a 2jz 34 ford sedan and a 72 chevy suburban with a twin turbo BMW V10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 800ish HP LSx powered twin turbo E31 (8 series) BMW. My absolute dream engine swap. I LOVE THE E31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 A bit different, but some kinda ls1 or RB or whatever I could easily stuff into a Lancia Stratus, or a Dino. Heck any kinda powerplant would improve a lowered tricked out Delorean. Just lose those crap turbine wheels on the Delorean would be an improvement. My wife would love some reliable swap into an Opel GT. Oh and the Pantera? Can't imagine a better engine worth putting in one of those. I'd leave that one alone (sorry not very hybridz thinking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zx 2by2 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 my three would be... VR38dett powered 240zg SR20vet powered Elise and for some drastic bastardization... LS9 powered R35 (retaining awd) just let your mind wander about the pissed off people on the ZR1 and R35 forums... also saw somewhere a delsol that had a rear engine swap, if you could put a k24a in the front and the back that would be cool (but that would only be if i had to choose a honda) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last would be a turbo'd Sportster Evo. Here ye go, E36 with a Small Block Ford. He is even selling the SBF E36 conversion kit!

Administrators BRAAP Posted September 27, 2009 Administrators Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Dream Hybrids eh? A Hybrid car that when you see it driving down the street, you get the urge to shed your clothes and rub against it… #1 Dream Hybrid for me is the street legal Dauer 962! 0-60 MPH in 2.6 seconds! Porsche 962 race car “hybrided” into a street legal road car! I think 12 examples of the road car were built, not sure if any are here in the states.. (Is hybrided even a word? If not, it is now!) #2 is Georg Plasa’s BMW E-36, powered by a Formula-1 Judd V-8! #3 is my current Hybrid project! BMW E36, M-3 sedan receiving an LSx V-8 and 6 speed trans! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=150253 Edited September 28, 2009 by BRAAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Paul, this video is even better--longer with more engine sounds...man, that car is insane! I have to agree with you on the 962: it is one of the best knock-your-socks-off looking race cars and to have a streetable one would be too cool. I keep looking at cars the Mosler and similar cars with a set up like the 962. My wife is going to have to work her tail off for me to afford one Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Always wanted an XJS with anything but the Jaguar V12 I know the rear window does nothing for aerodynamics, but I have always loved the cutout look This would do it for me http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 There's obviously too much BMW in the house. Time for a change #1 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16V Evo II with a Turbo M104 3.2... and take the wing off the back so you cant tell it's an Evo... #2 Datsun 510 with the 2.3-16V Cosworth motor (Plus terbeaux) #3 Custom Tube frame mini with a RWD 13B turbo in it. ...#3 is very likely my next car project after the ol' Z is finished.

kiwi303 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 hmm... RX7, late 80's still with the pointy shape like a G nose s30 hit with a ruler, with a ferrari V12 under the bonnet. S600 M-Benz early 90's, V12 fitted with a set of 6 downdraft IDF type twin throat carbs, stroked and bored. Arial Atom, 4 rotor twin turbo mazda motor up front.

nissan2ner831 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 First: 20B RX7 Not "original" or something that hasn't been done before, but it's a car I will own someday =) Second: Noble M15 with a VH45DETT Unique idea for sure, original idea was an LS1, but DOHC>Pushrods =P Though a VR38DETT might be more practical There's a few others, but I'm tired and will save my last one for when I am fully awake =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5litre z31 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have a dream that one day i will build an 80's bmw 635 csi with a ls6 with big horse's a cool old car that would handle and look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nsm0l3m4n Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have one! I have one! Locost 7 chassis A big electric motor... or 2 A Zilla 2000 amp DC motor control And an A123 Systems or Kokam powered Li-Ion 400+V battery pack with just enough juice for 3-4 autox runs at max power... Gonna start building it next winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_furious Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Starion / Conquest with the Mopar Action Green Brick motor; a Ray Barton built 340 stroker(396, I think) with DPFI. That engine has been put in that chassis successfully before. I'd like to see how well one of the new Hemis would fit in a '37 Plymouth business coupe. AC, cruise control, 300+ horsepower and a nice, no-nonsense clean depression era body wrapped around it. Restore everything to stock and run the exhaust out the back with resonators and hidden tips, it'll end up really quiet and have that odd rasp from the era. Put electric cutouts just rear of the x-pipe when you need to get on it and make some noise. Replace the front end with a new subframe assembly, go coil-overs all around and 4-link in the rear with a Dana 60 and Sure-Grip. Hide a rollbar behind the B-pillar, or even integrate it into the body and hide it under the trim. Not as difficult as it sounds. Lotus Elite or Elan type 26 with a turbo'd Miata or Ford Zetec drivetrain. FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Here ye go, E36 with a Small Block Ford. He is even selling the SBF E36 conversion kit! I bought the CD, well worth the price for any doing a V-8 E36 conversion. http://e36v8.com/index.html Awesome to see a reasonably-priced conversion kit for the E36. Not a 5.0 fan and wonder if someone is going to offer an LSx kit soon.......HARUMPHHHH, HARUMPHHHH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
