Let’s try to keep it realistic. What drivetrain and chassis would you love to see put together.

I would love to throw a ProCharged 3.0L Yamaha motor from a 1992-1995 Taurus SHO into a an SN95 96-98 Cobra Chassis with an Independent Rear suspension.

The cooling and fuel system would work just fine just would need to do a few adaptations for them to meet in the proper places.
Stand alone ECUs are a plenty.

Would need custom motor mounts, mid pipe, and transmission mount (but there are tons of mounts out there for the SN95 could likely easily use one of those, custom driveshaft.

I don’t know a lot about the manual transmission they had in the SHO and what power it would handle so it may be easier to just get an adapter plate made and use a TKO or TKX and would not even need a custom driveshaft or transmission mount.

What a hoot that combo would be.
Those Yamaha motors are a high revving hoot, that are quite stout. With the SN95 chassis having a huge aftermarket following.

Sure would be a lot of fun.

Had a Yamaha SHO. Great engine.

I want what most truck enthusiasts want. Cummins engine, Ford chassis, body, style.

Well would you lookie here!!!!

Vulcan 3.0 to SBF adapter plate!!!!

I’d be happy (ecstatic) with either of these:

‘55 Chevy 2-door post, with an LS3 engine, or

‘40 Ford 2-door coupe with a Coyote engine.

I had a Nissan Titan truck. 5.6 liter 32 valve aluminum V8. Numbers weren't earth shattering, but Jesus, the useable power was.

I also drove a 3 liter v6 Nissan 350Z. It's impressive. Acceleration, cornering, road holding, braking, all really good in a very stiff chassis.

I want the Titan motor in the Z series chassis. Most recent version was 400 HP and 413 lb/ft torque. Those numbers could be adjusted for sport rather than hauling with a cam and a tune.

With that kind of power, the Z series would be a world beater.

Shoehorn a 427 into a fox body Mustang SSP notchback.

Mazda 13B into my Midget, FC or 4 port Renesis
Get the 13B engined Lotus 7 project I sold back
GM LFX into a NB Miata
911 flat six into a Legacy or Outback

Pretty sure all of those have been done. Just takes $, sometimes a lot.

And yes!


I’d also consider a Lexus LS sedan drivetrain underneath a ’55 Chevy Nomad. Maroon, please, with a white roof.

I’ll take a 4.4 liter V12 from a Ferrari Daytona put into a 63 Corvette split window coupe. Then a Land Rover Defender 110 with a 6.7 Cummins diesel, stripped of all emissions nonsense.

I want this guy back:



But with the S62 and six speed from this guy:


The 1984 six series was a private import I lucked into, should never have sold it.

The E39 M5 was simply the best sedan I have ever owned or driven, and even today is better than anything out there. (OK, technically just my opinion, but I know I’m right)

If I could have that amazing V8 squeezed into the 635, it would be the perfect GT.

Too late, already done

Toyota Tacoma Access Cab
inline 4cyl (But more displacement that the original)
Rear wheel drive and a 6 speed m/t geared Loooow, like you only use 1st when crawling off road

Then add a second alternator, medium size Lith batter and hub mounted electric motor at each front wheel for independent 4WD

This would actually be my first choice, more of a long shot, but no need to reinvent the wheel...

Take a ~1963 Lincoln Continental, black of course with suicide doors and chrome.
Drop it 1-2" with air bags suspension. Chop an inch off the top. THEN...
Graft in the drivetrain/batteries/electronics from a Tesla Model-S

A 94 Bronco with a built 4.9l I6, small turbo with a ZF8HP transmission. With leather seats and nice tunes.

I would like to put a Godzilla 7.3 into a modern Mustang. Then a 1000hp Twin Turbo Hurricane into a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Shaker.

200 series Land Cruiser engine, drive train, suspension etc in a Defender 110 body

That 1961-1964 Lincoln was one of the best-looking cars ever to hit the road, wasn't it?

After JFK's assassination, USSS had the presidential limo fitted with a bullet-resistant glass top. I saw it in Chicago around 1964 when LBJ came to town.

A neighbor had a convertible. Nearly everybody at that time loved JFK, including the neighbor, who was so upset by the assassination that he got rid of it.

Damn. That’s a good looking… automobile.

Ecoboost+5 speed from a 2015 Mustang into a 1966 Mustang. With all the Heidt’s suspension goodies. Would be a track marvel.
