Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Crazy swaps? (attn Bob-o)

Since I'm bored as hell, let's talk about motor swaps for racecars.

Specifically, something cheap, light, and fast. Doesn't have to be pretty, doesn't have to have any creature-comforts... just a fast-ass track car that's cheap to operate.

My gut tells me that a Chevy small block 350 motor swapped into a RWD Japanese car is the way to go... Datsun 240/260/280's are popular, RX-7's too. What about an old Corolla? Bob, you've had a few, what sorta room is there under the hood of those things? You think the chassis would be able to handle all that twist... not that it would matter too much, since I'd cage the whole thing...

?

Anyway... someone entertain me w/ ideas.
