oddball V8 conversions

Let's have some fun with this and see who can come up with the oddest V8 conversion.

Here's one bound to infuriate the Porsche purists

Civette

87 Winnebego with a Lexus V8?

GTV V8? (Everything about that says win!)

i put an lsx in a 90 mclaren turbo grand prix with a thunderbird independent rear end. someone wanted more than me though so i pulled my engine and sold it as a roller

Here's a good one...

My old Conquest with a 351-W stuffed in it.

Must know more!

Boy, is this a good thread!!!

The guys at the Microcar Museum took the "Whatadrag" Hot Wheels car (an Isetta three wheeler with a V8) and built one in real life.

The inspiration:

I wish I had pictures of it, but back in the late 70's I installed an Olds 455 and Toronado transaxle in the back of a 31 Ford pickup.

Then there's this:

There's always a 1950 Triumph Mayflower

Or a TR3

Or even a Spitfire

Not sure if this is fake or not ...

V8 Insight?

I win...

Hot Rod Mag did a Chevette with a set back Cad 500 ci ! That was cool!

Is that car from Long Island/New York or New Jersey? I knew a guy who built one of those with a Ford small block. Last I saw the car it was in Oakdale, New York

Love that Alfa - it is drool worthy.

How about a supercharged V-8 powered Bugeye Sprite?

Just Finished a Hydro Clutch setup last weekend and Clarks just delivered the autopower roll bar yesterday.

Suck it Ralph.

Makes our 997S thats been modified feel like a Beetle.

In reply to T.J.:

"V8 powered Bugeye Sprite"

My FIL's former car, was C400/TH350 powered when sold.

ST185 Celica GT4 Grp A.

RWD, 1uzfe plus twin turbo PLUS supercharger.

Before supercharger, put down 430whp on only 13psi. Last reports say that it's well over 600hp, still with stock motor.
