Farnbacher offers a Cayman with a 
Porsche 911 S engine. The 3.8L X-51 engine sports 395 horsepower. Farnbacher claims that since the Cayman is more balanced and has the ability to be better then the 911 given more horsepower. Farnbacher charges $39,500. Car and Driver said their test vehicle, which happened to be the best Cayman they ever have driven, came to a total of $124,360. It does seem step because one would be able to get a 911 Turbo for almost the same amount. The appearance is...
This custom Toyota FJ45 has a swapped Nascar Toyota V8 which puts out 800 horsepower. The engine has a four speed manual transmission bolted to it. The bed was completely custom built to fit. The rear suspension features leaf springs and a 4-link suspension. The body is chopped, channeled, and narrowed. Many vents and other visual obstructions have been filled to create a very clean body.

GM Performance Parts is debuting their LS9 crate motor at SEMA 2008. Jalopnik points out the current Z06 engine costs $14K so one can expect to pay more, possible a lot more for this motor. The great thing about this being offered as a crate engine is you no longer have to wait for a ZR1 to crash near your garage to have one. The only thing you need now is some deep pockets.

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.

It seems everyone these days wants to build their own Tumbler. This Tumbler is built by Australian native Grant Hodgson and features a big block Chevy 454 cubic inch motor with a small splash of nitrous for good measure. The base engine puts out 560 horsepower. No telling what the engine can do with a shot of nitrous. Something tells me this is not the last Tumbler we’ll see. Check Jalopnik site for video.

No doubt modders have been daydreaming of using the powerful 3.8L twin-turbo VR38DETT in all kinds of cars since it was announced. Jalopnik has confirmed what appears to be the first GT-R crash in the United States. Unfortunately due to the power of this beast we are going to see more boo-boos resulting in some awesome engines coming up for sale to lucky swappers.

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. Dan Master decided he wanted to swap the old engine with a robust

Colin Masterson knows his way around a S12, which is why he is a co-admin at Club S12 forum. But he is better known for his very unique S12. Colin bought the car in 2004 but didn’t really start to modify it until 2005. That year he swapped out the original interior for a black one, swapped a better condition factory VG30E, and had the body cleaned up and painted.
In 2006 Colin decided to begin turning his car into something very rare, a RB20DET powered S12. Up until that point it had...
One of our readers gave us a heads up on the most recent Cars and Coffee meetup which was posted in the NAGTROC forum. A large diversity of great cars showed up ranging from Porsches to muscle cars to a new GT-R. This purple Datsun 510 stood out in particular because you don’t see too many of these and second it has a swap. It appears to have a very clean SR20DET swap with probably some upgrades such as the Brembo brakes.
