Mighty Car Mods are doing an e30 build

[varg]

If you were watching for an "original" swap you're watching the wrong youtube channel. LS engines are objectively good, good is better than interesting unless you build your car for the approval of others.

I think the LS series has become the most boring engine swap you could possibly do. What a let down. Just about any other motor would be more interesting.

I'd rather see an LS than an M6x.

Also, Russian rotary power, look it up. VAZ-311, 411, and others, have a laugh.

I wonder if they will replace all the old suspension components...

also, I love how heartbroken he was over ALL OF THAT RUST ZOMG

Doubtful, I bet that they'll just swap it, do some track thing and then say goodbye. Also, that's a PITA location for rust when a swap is in the works.

how original

You are right, they should have put in a Nissan UD, or maybe a Jaguar V12, or perhaps an I5 Duratorq, or a PSA X type, or even a Lada 21079 for that sweet insane rotary power.

The LS3 is a little disappointing because of how common it is for us, but that diff setup is kind of hilarious.
Not sure what they're doing to that engine that they need that, but it wouldn't be the first time they bought a full aftermarket exhaust and then swapped it out for a turbo setup. I doubt they're going to do that, but yeah the diff setup is something else.

Thanks, I kept trying to use the YouTube option at the end.

Also looks like it's an LS3, never thought about an H4 but that would neat to see (if possible)

I have to admit the rear end kit they put in looks quite interesting, too bad you won't see one in NA

Generally, stuff from Australia is pretty reasonable to purchase for those of us in the US, and we have so many Japanese half cut importers/specialists I'd bet that finding a diff would be easy.

To embed, click the link/chain icon above the post text box, paste your link in, click add link, and it will make it there. F20s are neat, but I really want to see some lunatic figure out a way to shoehorn an H4 in there since my quick measurements show that it won't fit. Maybe tilted and dry sumped would work.

Ohhh man I definitely want to see an f20 build. I've been following this build as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUyNQKeXD4o which has been neat. Not as much of a fan of them but they are pretty open with every thing they do which cool to watch.

Also what am I doing wrong for embedding the YouTube videos?

I would watch it... but Moog is just so damn annoying

It was a wrinkle red valve cover, so it could have been something else.

I kinda hope it's not an F20 because it's like the K series' weird uncle.
