Engine Swap Depot

Here we have a 1983 Mitsubishi van which has been modified into one mean truck. The power comes from a swapped LS3 motor sitting in the back with the automatic 6L80E transmission pointing toward the cab. From the motor the power goes through a Nissan Patrol transfer case to the rear axle. Also swapped from the Patrol is the rear axle, four bar rear suspension and disc brakes. Since this truck is in Australia, it will have to meet all 2012 engineering requirements of a new vehicle. This means putting it through a series of tests costing around $5,000. Another advantage besides getting to drive this machine down the street is the owner will get to officially name it.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

Scion Racing unveiled their newest drift car based off the 2013 Scion FR-S. Built by GReddy Peformance, the FR-S uses a Cosworth CS600 EJ25 long block racing motor. The motor was upgraded with a GReddy turbo kit to produce 600 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. In full race trim this Scion is 300 pounds lighter then the factory version. Your first chance to see this being driven will be at the “Streets of Long Beach” event on April 6-7, 2012.

This seems to be making the rounds on a few sites after being recently uploaded to Streetfire, but after a little digging around I found it was uploaded over a year ago from the Newark 2010 Auto Show. Even though the Lamborghini is a kit car, it is still a great project. The builders were able to shove not only a 5.0L BMW V12 motor but also four turbochargers.
