Rather than having a car and looking for an engine to put in it.... I have the opposite.. I have an engine that I want options that it will fit into.
Over the last 4 or so years I've been building and saving up for parts to make a great engine that was going to go into a kit car, however I've had a few issues with the kit car meaning that I now have to fit another engine.
The specs are:
2.3 T5 ported and flowed head (single VVT)
2.4 T5 bottom end (shimmed)
SMF, R clutch and LSD supplied by Tim
Hahn Super 20G turbo
High flow Fuel pump
650cc injecters (also some VXR ones)
R manifold
Standalone management
What I am looking for is some suggestions for a car that it can fit into. This will be a sleeper/track car and I'm not bothered by any mod cons, compatibility etc - basically looking to make a shell of a car where the engine will fit and then work from there. I realise that are a lot of compatibility issues with immobilsation and other issues, however I'm really looking to make this a road legal track car that'll supprise some road cars too - I'm also not looking to put it in an 850, v70 or s60, though I may due to them being bolt in - I want something different - and also not necessarily volvo. Essentially for a list of cars that the engine will fit into without modifying the chassis/monocoque
Would the engine (and turbo) fit into any of these:
C30
s40 (old or new)
v40
v50
Again - I realise that the newer ones will have issues with connecting to the other electrical systems, but I'm really aiming for a shell that it fits into and work out the rest via removing and bodging!
