Anybody think I could swap this in to an 85 G body?

You can swap anything into anything if u have the knowledge or the money.
Question is why?
To be different?

Yes...Different.

Looks like a headache to me...even with twin turbos that engine is only 280-320 hp.

that would be a pain in the @ss but you can do anything u want have fun trying to make a monte front wheel drive or making that motor fit on a rwd trans like the person above me said low power. i had a friend that took a turbo from a ford power stroke and made it fit and work on his caprice. that car was quick. if u do it let us no how it goes and post pics

I doubt I do it. Just wanted input.

looks to me like that engine was in a rwd car- so it wouldn't be as difficult as you seem to think.

X2. For less money you could put in a more powerful engine. How much you willing to spend to be "different", and how much hp are you willing to sacrifice.

Did you just finish watching Tokyo Drift or something. Its a cool idea, but in a Miata or something.

I think some guys put one of those in a early 60's Camaro, it was pretty freakin' cool.

There were rumors around town that a guy i went to high school with put one of those in a 90's 4dr Accord.... probably just a rumor.

Btw the Skyline was AWD

You would end up getting killed on repair parts for it...it's still a used engine that was probably beaten to smithereens...

Here it is. Very cool!

.. So, how many horsepower did it make? It shrieks like a little turbo motor and sounds fast, but sometimes they really aren't that fast...

1029 with full boost (I don't know what full boost was though)

You can tell that one was out of a Skyline. You can see the front driveshaft in one of the pics. You can buy a different trans though to make it a rwd setup. I used to work with a guy that was putting one of these into a 240SX. It was a pretty cool little car.

OK, so 3K for a used engine, no turbos, no tranny, need motor mounts, fabricating, sump tank, electric fuel pump, a ton of electronic gremlins to discover, etc, etc.

Just get an LS-1, LS-2, either in 6sp or auto, and enjoy the 400 lbs of torque. Easily installed, easy kits for installation available also, header, etc.

And would cost much less, specially if you run into problems.
The LS series are dependable, and easy to tweak, tons of aftermarket support too.

My

yuk what a crappy swap..... flor that money i would go get an lq9 from the boneyard and do a cam swap in it and get headers etc and have 450+ horsepower for less money

I think the point of it is because

1) everyone and their mother hasn't done it
and 2
2) it honors the god of hotrodding

I like this swap better
