Guys, what about putting large high horsepower engine and trans inside an SVX.

I am not mechanical so I do not know if this is even possible.

Has anything like this even been discussed.

Be nice with your responses.

As with any custom fab, anything is possible.

your only limits are time, skill, and most importantly, green $$$

Limitations =

1) money
2) hood clearance
3) Front crossmember
4) Weight out past the front wheels. I dont know how much the new Hemis weigh, but the old ones are pretty heavy.

And yes it has been discussed to the detroment of the person asking. Engine swopping is a sore subject here. Most people here are purest that tend to be hard on people taking about it. Others have also discuss using an STi driveline.

Just for clarification. My newly bought 63K 97 red/tan svx will never be modded except for with the Wing that WILL DEFINITELY use the same hols as the existing wing.

I have a 120K black/tan svx that, if I had cash, I might mod.

You're a great guy.:D

The upcoming 6.4L Hemi from Chrysler is toted to make 505 HP, and is only planned as a crate engine at this point. Are the current generation Hemi engines aluminum block? If so weight won't be AS MUCH of an issue. If you're looking at the older "street hemi's", the giant cast iron brutes from the muscle car days, it's going to probably take a complete rebuild of the front of the car.

$$$$$ makes anything possible, as long as you have it.

Cool idea. Not sure how realistic it is.
