After the unfortunate incident this past week... now that we've patched things up. I thought maybe the X19 guys would come over and check the site out.
Step up and say Hi guys. Clay invited them to a "club" function. Would be neat if they showed up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) |

We have several members who have done various swapouts, from mild to wild.
Yes a V8 can, and has been, stuffed in an X1/9, it just depends on how much modification you are really up for. One of our more active members, Wayne Wright, has a 3.8L Chevy V6 in the mid of his X and it is a sight to behold, kind of like the DeTomaso Pantera of X1/9s. Then there's the insane, like the guy who stuffed a 500ci Caddy V8 in his X - insane - had to chop it to pieces and you could probably make it do torque steer backflips in the air if you mashed the pedal In my experience an X1/9 owner doesn't really need to go for a V8 to get balls out power the car deserves though. I've seen twin cam 2 liter Lancia or Uno Turbo 4 banger swaps in an X that would smoke damn near anything that could roll up on them... PS to jasons, I'll take that criticism under advisement, as believe me, we really could use one of those too.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Peace, -Mac |
