Engine all most done
 
So it's about that time. Just wanted to know if anyone has fitted any other engines in our cars... As well as if we could put the 3.6 flat six in it or an 2.2 with the twin turbos?

With enough time and money anything's possible. I think the new H-6 would fit the SVX well. The nuts and bolts would probably fit fine (I think the EZ's have the same bellhousing as EJ's?), but I'm betting wiring would be a pain. Standalone might be the easiest way to get the engine running.

It's actually really easy to get an engine to fit in an svx engine bay.

The electronics are where the difficulty is.

Ooo yeah the bay is big enough Small v8 or an rotory but really want to put an mother sound engine. Really want the 3.6 or the 2.2 twin turbo

The engine bay is certainly not big enough for a V8 without major, major modification due to the subframe being in the way and the height. Realistically, only a boxer motor will fit properly.
The twin turbo was actually 2.0 I believe (only the US got a 2.2 turbo, all other markets were 2.0) and you would need to do major, major cutting of the subframe and probably still wouldn't work. The twin turbo cars had unique subframes.
