So this is a shot in the dark,

But what do you think about putting a 8L v10 Dodge Viper engine in the rx8? I have an engine and transmission and was just wondering is it possible.

 

 

Don't know if it would physically fit, that's a monster engine. But if it does fit then it's more of a matter of how much money do you have sitting around?

 

Those are physically smaller than the renesis. I see no problems.

 

A friend of mine put on ein an SN95 mustang and still had to cut and rework the firewall to get it to fit. To my knowledge there is more room in the mustang engine bay then in the RX8. Dont thin it would fit without some major reworking of the entire car

 

If you do it we demand pictures and lots of them. :-)

I'd imagine that the bell housing would sit about where the shifter sits in the car currently if you wanted to have the engine behind the front core support.

Anything is possible with money, but this one is a stretch.

 

From this pic you can see how far it sits back in the SN95 car. I think it would be way way to far back for hte RX8

 

It's a POS engine anyway, why even bother? If you have to upgrade do it right.

 

you can do anything you want if you have enough money.

 

twin turbo 8.0L in a mustang......lol I'd drive it

 

Why does the motor have to mount in the front? I say the trunk is bigger but you won't be able to use the transmission.

 

The world is full of transaxles, or FWD trannies whose main shaft can just be inverted

 

 

 

rofl lol lol lol

this thread makes no sense at all. But i love it lol

 

Shouldn't be a problem.......might be like kinda sharing your bathtub with a shark......but other than that.

 

I dont take baths i shower. You ever try showering with a shark? Completely different ballgame there fellas

 

was it fun ?


*ibtl!*

 

Why down grade your car? Just kidding! Man, would an 8 be killer if you could maintain weight yet have oh....350HP. WOW!

 

 

Ignore the naysayers, just mount it traversely like in a MR car. You can do that much easier than other cars because we have SUICIDE DOORS!!!!

 

most goodest bestest first post ever..

beers

 

That is a big *** engine. There is absolutely no way of fitting that in an 8 without some extreme modifications to both the chasis and body.

 

Really?
