PHPaulA boy can dream! What drivetrain and chassis would you love to combine?
Pre-emissions Cummins 12 valve into a Ford F250.
Personal transmission choice would be a ZF 5 speed but an Allison automatic would do as well.
Most likely been done and kits with necessary adapters are no doubt out there.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

SPWAMike0317I would like to have a 1983 Ford F-150 XLS Flareside 4X4 with a manual transmission and a built 300 ci inline six. I had that truck in 1983 except mine had a stock 300.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? September 06, 2026, 07:20 AM

They have been able to punch the 300 ci inline six up to 500+ horsepower. A custom head and intake are good for over 800.
Amazing what solid architecture and inherent harmonics can do.

tigereye313There was someone who shoved a Subaru flat 6 into a Meyers Manxter. That would be silly fun.

ridewvI would like my first generation Tundra (2004-06) with the 4.7 V8 and 6-speed manual transmission. (Mine had the 3.4 V6 and 5-speed transmission)
No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Snapping TwigI have a 96 3/4 ton HD 4WD Ram with the 360.
What would be nice would be the 96 version of the Cumminst turbo diesel and an Allison transmission.
Heaven!

DanHA late 90's CART 2.65L Turbo V8 or an F1 3.0L V10 with their transmissions in a mid engine car I can fit into.

stickman428A 2JZ swapped FD RX-7 is my idea of the perfect drivetrain married with the perfect chassis.
A 1992 RX-7 twin turbo is hands down the best vehicle I have ever driven. Toss in a 2JZ with a big turbo and it’s perfect.

shovelhead67-72 Chevy or GMC Suburban 4x4. Rear doors in place of the tailgate. LS3 430 hp but with a twist, non fuel injected. Holley or preferably with a Quadrajet carburetor and the timing cover kit to use a small block Ford distributor in place of the electronic controls.
4L65E transmission, the electronic controller will be fine for that. Transfer case would be a New Process 205 with Dana axles front and rear.
Or, a 73 through 86 square body K5 Blazer, same drive train.
Oh, and a state that doesn’t use salt in the winters…….

HRKI had always thought that I'd pull the 5.4 supercharged engine from my F150 and install it in a cobra aftermarket chassis.....
Didn't happen, ended up getting rid of the F150, but I can dream....
