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. Of course it was finished with a matte black paint, pinstriping, and red line wheels. For more details and...
When Driftworks decided they needed a new car they decided to use the trusted S14 platform and the bulletproof Toyota 2JZ engine. This project was very difficult taking roughly 18 months. Just about every component on the car had to have some custom work on it. Using 15.9 psi, the engine is putting out 569 horsepower. Make sure to check out the rest of the article on Speedhunters.

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.

Carscoop has plenty to say about this 1975 Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce. They point out the issues with the body modifications and the choice of a Mustang swapped engine. Of course we respect everyone’s opinion and they are of course entitled to theirs but it seems they missed the point when it comes to these particular cars. I have to completely disagree with their opinion on the use of the Mustang engine. The idea of taking an American V8 engine and putting it into a small European car is...
We mentioned on here before that EVS Motors was building a 2JZ-GTE powered 1967 Camaro. Well they didn’t quite get their intended horsepower level of 1,000. The video seems states the engine is running around 28 psi of boost and around 800 horsepower. Which is enough to get the car moving.

After some requests we made a shirt design that used our Crest logo without the name on it. This design just features the pistons and wrench. Check it out here.
Dodge is sending three Challengers to SEMA this year. One of the three is the Challenger SRT10 concept which has a swapped Viper V10 engine. The Viper V10 produces around 600 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. The brakes and suspension get an upgrade as well. Of course there is no telling if Dodge planning on actually offering this combo to the public. My guess is Dodge will stay far away since even GM is finding it hard to sell cars with their LSx platform.

This 1990 Chevrolet Astro Van originally came from the factory with a 4.3L V6 engine. The Chevy Astro is a good choice for a LT1 swap since the 4.3L V6 is based off the Chevy V8 engine. Many of the same parts work for for both. This LT1 has an Edelbrock intake, 600 CFM carburetor, and is mated to a 4L60 transmission. The van being held back by some engine and traction issues is still able to run 14.8 seconds in the quarter mile.

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.

Ford Racing Performance Parts decided to take a Ford Focus RS and stuff a 5.0L Cammer crate motor. Ford decided to start with the RS version because of its sportier Euro appearance. The engine is a DOHC 5.0L V8 modular crate motor putting out 420 BHP and 365 ft.-lbs. torque. Ford Racing Performance Parts sells this engine for $14,995 on their site. The 5.0L cammer motor is based off the 4.6L Mustang Cobra motor. A Tremec five-speed HD transmission and a Ford Racing 8.8 inch differential is...
Ann Arbor’s Washtenaw Community College has a pretty cool automotive program called Custom Cars & Concepts. It was in this program that a group of students took a Ford GT drivetrain and suspension and swapped it into a Ford 500. The Ford 500 was made only for two years and was to fill in the Taurus gap and came front wheel or all wheel drive with a 3.0L V6 producing around 208 horsepower. The supercharged 5.3L ford GT heart puts out around 550 horsepower. You can tell from the pictures...
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.
