HST International teamed up with Tjaarda Design to produce a Mustang that runs on pure electricity. The cars use a custom built DC Electric Motor System producing roughly 300 HP and 1000 ft/lbs of torque. One of the great benefits of electric motors is their torque which usually is ready at 0 rpm. The massive torque allows the car to do 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
The battery system is made by K2 Energy Solutions and uses lithium iron phosphate batteries. To keep a great weight balance the...
I came across a decent article from Torque Cars dealing with some of the issues and concerns someone might have when considering their first swap. This article includes tips on budgeting, breaking in the new engine, and good general tips that is worth reading. Be sure to check out some of Torque Cars other articles.
In need of a European supercar engine for your next engine swap? Eurospares is a supercar junk yard of sorts. A quick check shows they currently carry Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati models. In their engine category you can find some seriously expensive engines such as a 2002 360 Modena for around $16,088.

Motoring J Style was held at Vallejo, CA this year. In the show was a 4.3L 3UZ-FE V8 swapped Toyota Corona, a F20C powered Celica, and a Datsun 510 wagon powered by a 7M-GTE. I don’t know anything about the Corona besides what one can see in the image but it seems to be a full tubular frame chassis with a lexan windshield. If others know more about the Corona and Celica please leave a comment.

This swap is proof you are only limited by your budget and imagination. Jeff Meyer really thought outside the box using a French built front wheel drive 1966 Citroen as a basis for his swap. It seems the body was about the only thing still French on the car. The driveline has been switched from a FWD to a RWD. The frame was built by Art Morrison using his G-Max chassis as a starting point. The suspension was swapped from a Morrison’s Mustang II-based independent in the front and a...
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.

Saleen released a press release recently stating it will offer its high performance 302 crate engine. Upgrades include being bored and stroked to 5 liters, bigger injectors, upgraded aluminum heads and pistons, camshafts, connecting rods and crank. Packages are 390 horsepower for the NA version and 580 horsepower for the supercharged version. No word on price but I would expect these to go for “more then a dollar.” The engines will be available for purchase direct from the factory...
The engine was built by GM Performance Parts and GM Performance Division with the help of NHRA racer Warren Johnson to show off the LSX platform. The 454 cu in small block LSX engine has been graded to produce 641hp and 611 torque. The engine is not fuel injected but instead uses a single Holley 950-cfm four-barrel carburetor. The cylinder heads used on the Camaro are prototype LSX heads using six head bolts rather than five to increase cylinder head sealing strength. On a side note to all...
