1969 Z28 Gold Canyon Carver

Originally this Z28 came with a 302 but had a 396 swapped in its place. The current owner decided the Camaro needed some more power and after careful consideration settled on the beastly ZZ 502 crate motor. This engine out of the box puts down 502 horsepower and 567 lb.-ft. of torque. Also upgraded on the Camaro are new leafs, QA1 adjustable rear shocks, Hotchkis rear sway, Hotckis Subframe connectors, and CCW 17×8.5 wheels up front and 17×9.5 in the rear. Source: Pro-Touring

1974 MG MGB-GT with Ford 302 V8

The MGB-GT originally came with a 1.8 L inline four cylinder engine producing around 98 horsepower. Enough power to get this little car going but probably not enough for most adventurous types.

200SX with BMW M5 Swap

Reading their website doesn’t tell much but it seems we are looking at a Nissan 200SX with a 3.6L BMW engine (S38B36) from a 1989–1995 M5 (E34). Then they turbocharged the engine with a Garrett GT45 turbo. No where do they indicate the horsepower output but I would expect good numbers though the video is really unimpressive. It could be the driver being cautious but I expected more rubber to be left behind. Source: Site via Carscoop
