So, EVO Motor Swaps?

I saw an evo 8 a few years ago with an LS1 in it, custom drive shaft right to a solid posi rear end. If you have the machines, extra hands, you can weld and you have a lift it wouldn't be too hard. Everyone at my shop has been trying to talk me into doing this for a while now since we have the motor, tranny, and a custom drag racing driveshaft shop next door. I like the 4g63 but I'm sick of people thinking "fast and furious" when I pull up. Becides working for Harley-Davidson and driving ricers don't really mix so I'd like to do the swap someday.

I'm a little surprised that fits in there. It must confuse the hell out of people. Sort of like the '41 willis bodied car that is really an Evo8 underneath.

I think its cool to see something like this. Anytime someone thinks outside the box and is successful in pulling something like this off, I give props to them. And it's not like the LS series motors aren't beast anyways. Kudos to them

Bah, I'd rather see an east-west small V8 swap that retains the factory AWD.
Something like those small 400hp custom built V8's people use in project cars. I remember seeing someone using one in a small AWD car with the engine located where the passenger would go. About the size of an Atom.
I can't recall the name of the car or the motor unfortunately. Just remember the odd motor location so it could have AWD.
