Vx Re-do???

[Chopper]

WOW_ok NO turbo electric anything- I've explored the Amigo swap, but the tranny ain't gonna take any real HP. Got a V8 Samari... not doing that again. If I was going to do the 4x4 thing, I'd be looking Haldex or Audi, but I'm really feeling rear drive. NO Fiero! Yes John, I am talking about a spent one, there are plenty around.... not about to cut up 0177 or the other black...they don't total 30,000 mi. between them.Keep it comming, you guys are great. No one else would quite understand this obsession.

Viper V10,,,tubeular frame/cage,,,strip the interior of all excess weight (gut the rear interior),,,suspension of your choice,,,!

No, no, no... get a SL 600 motor... Mercedes V-12. :-D

Forgot, the top is already chopped enough. The grand Merc,ahhh, Gods own engine. If I remember correctly, they already wrap a pretty nice car around it in all its configurations. Besides that kind of money builds me a new track car. Same with the Viper crate engine, and the space issue. I'm looking around the local auctions and the salvage businesses we deal with at the shop. Thinking a wrecked bigger BMW, X3-X5 rear driver. Lots of juicy front end and engine bits there.

I know this is a weird idea but have you thought about putting two (or maybe even three if they'll fit) Yamaha VMax motors in there?

I've always wanted to build a Super Seven clone with a Bimmer S50/ S52 motor (US 3.0/3.2L M3s).
Maybe it will fit in the VX..?

Okay Wayne, maybe this will appeal to your sense of "going against the grain" and appreciation of fine machinery: A Mercedes OM617 turbo diesel driving a dog box (Quaife or Jericho?) with some Finnish-style injection tuning. You can have as much power as the structure will sustain (pyrometer a must!) and the best part is simple, easy tuning with no electronics. Engines and parts aplenty, and the jaw-drop factor guaranteed. Oh, and you're environmentally friendly too!

Lemme get this straight, they are bolting a 700R4 to the 3.5/3.2?
