I wouldn't mind that at all. The sunstrip is slap worthy though.

I agree with the sunstrip deserving a slap but at the same time those engines are solid and it would be an interesting drift car for sure

see that a few weeks ago when it was first listed. thought it seemed quite a quality conversion as all the hard works been done so should be simple to put an m3 evo lump in it

That's a nice engine conversion I think. It's just missing a turbo. N/A 328 engine isn't really that powerful to be a good excuse for using a "wrong make" engine.

I like when people mix makes and models of engines / cars together, but to be exiting it needs to be properly mental IMHO.

Nothing wrong with that really. Will be a fun car. If it was a proper cossie and he had put a different engine in he would deserve a slap lol.

My brother and me had between us a 24v Scorpio, 328i BMW, 1.6 Sapph and a 200sx at the one time. We came up with the idea (been done before) of putting the Granada engine in the Sierra, but never even considered the others. Well, not the 1.6 as it was not enough and was already in it.
