BMW Motors in Not BMW's

I had one with a turbo'd 2 Liter air-cooled VW engine and tranny in it 8^)

I must ask for pictures! Did the 4x4 work?

I'm on the fence as I have too many projects already, and IDK if the trans/transfer case can hold all of 140hp, but it'd have to have functioning 4x4.

Lol, I'm thinking about pulling one of my old CJ2A Jeeps out of the weeds and slamming a M42, or even, HARK, an M20 in it for teh lulz.

I can hardly believe I just saw you post that.

I've always wanted to do a Locost with a M42.

Not an M54, but howabout an M10 running a single sideraft. Not sure how an M54 would fit.

Nice.


Yeah, for an M52/M54 you'd probably have to extend the engine bay a little but that's the beauty of a locost. Build it how you want. They weigh what, around 550KG with a four cylinder? I'm guessing you could get it in under 650kg with an M52/M54.

What about the other side draft?

Nothing to contribute but I've always thought a locost/lotus 7 rep with an aluminium M52B28 or M54B30 would be pretty awesome.

Crazy how 2 of the swaps are from South Africa. The S42 Exige (which I actually think I took those pics, about 5yr's ago), and the V10 Cobra.

This is one of the best threads on R3V in a long ass time.

This is a good one:


There's also some kid here in town with an M20 in a early-90's little Toyota minitruck.

Dude, I really like this.

Those are carburetors.

Same thing!
