Ive seen a 253 powered mighty boy. It couldnt turn right.

That would be an interesting project. I reckon the firewall would have to go or atleast be heavily modded in order to fit a AU 6 into a tiny little Mightyboy......But then again I remember seeing some pics of a Mini panelvan with a 351 Clevo in it so anything is possible.

Thats just death on wheels.
:gren:

And for those who don't know what a Suzuki Mightyboy is....

You must've just missed the post above yours - basically it's a ute the size of a Daihatsu Charade!

A very small car, thats about as safe and it is easy to park.

The guy is better off just dropping in a 1.8-2.0 turbo something.

How he thinks he's going to get an inline 6 into it is beyond me!

[FPV8U]

That project kicks @$$, good luck to him.

[Falcon Freak]

I'd love to see the result. When I was in my teens I had wild ideas about putting a V8 engine in the rear of a Mini panelvan to drive the rear wheels!

[Mark351]

I believe there was a mighty boy project many many moons ago, had V8 in the back making it RWD - burnout hack I think.

Engine isn't in the back, has a Holden motor but a V8 might boy it is.

[jimt3te50]

when I did my cabinet making apprenticeship our polisher had a Mightyboy with a twin turbo Lotus engine in it- it was never licensed but it was stolen and in a high speed chase but the cops just couldn't catch it LOL

[pecker73]

Its not a V8, but a its a 6...

[bob 351]

ah a new concept car

[Umineko]

Would be difficult I suspect the I6 is almost as long as the whole car. I've seen a few weird ones though, an old Capri with a 351, (had to remove the front wheels and drill holes in the inner guards to change the plugs) and a crazy mate of mine who put a blown 460 into a VW Kombi, sat right in the middle of the floor behind the front seat, like driving inside the largest noisiest vacuum cleaner you could imagine

not as weird as the guy that wanted to put a boss motor into a festiva : i did see a hiace with a 302 windsor in it years ago accelerated hard but didn't handle at all

Used to know someone with an ancient (very early 80's) Econovan with a 308! Those things are lead tipped arrows with their standard 4 cylinder Laser donks, imagine what the 308 would've done to it!

Come to think of it, I officially vote the Ford Econovan as the world's worst car!

well it's not a real ford it's an E series mazda ( should be a law against defacing a ford badge like that) but I think the holden camira takes the worst car award followed by the bongo van

[The Monty]

I was going to get a m ighty boy to drive my music gear around so I didnt ruin the interior of my car. That is until I realised I wouldnt fit my Bass guitars anywhere, as the tray was wayyyy to short.

There was an econovan type van that past me on the way out to the drags last time. Didnt think much of it till it rocked up out at willowbank. Stripped the interior, dropped the pipes, set of slicks and the thing pulled up the front wheels, dropped them down off the throttle and still ran a 13. And the sound was awesome. It was V8.

[Peuty]

A TAFE up where I used to live sucessfully rear mounted a Lexus V8 into a Mighty Boy. Was a quick little thing, they used to race it at the Leyburn sprints and Pittsworth as well.

Sounded awesome and handled pretty well too!

[Sick EB]

those thing are crazy. i they would be so quick. putting a I6 into that would be like putting a V8 into a smart car. lol.

[autickfordfairmont]

Ive seen footage of a smart car with a Hayabusa engine.

Check it out...

I saw a van a few weeks ago with a machie jet engine it pulls 10s

Would be an interesting little project.. good luck to him.. it would be a weapon.

Dads got a 3.5L all alloy Rover V8 he was thinking about dumping into a old school celica.. I dont know what happened to that idea, but I would of loved it. And im still trying something to put my 429 BB into.

[frd_crzer]

high on crack he is needs to smoke some more and he will want to fit a austin martin motor in a v12 haha

You can put it into the back of my ute if you like.........

[The Monty]

Laugh at me or tell me Im dreaming, but while we are on the subject of conversions. what about the XR6T engine into an R32 GTS-t? They are both straight six, but if it worked, an XR6T engine with $5000 thrown at it = 300rwkw, and the Rb20 is not THAT easy to mod. $5000 on engine, $5000 FOR engine (Max) $10000 install, $10000 shell = $30000. And remember, the line is only like 1200kg stock, so maybe 1300 with the bigger motor. And the TORQUE, thats something you dont get with the RB20. So is it possible?

[Mark351]

With enough money, anything is possible

[The Monty]

Itll be called a Fryline. Ford Skyline.
Plus itll fry those rears bad.

[AGRO]

Well fella's, you organise the motor to go in the mighty boy, and I will supply the chainsaw to throw in the back to go collect the wood!!!!
