Drivetrain swap ?
« on: November 11, 2007, 09:09:19 PM »

Just a question. Has anybody thought of throwing a mivec 3.8 and 6-speed out of an '06 up eclipse gt into a Venge/Bring? I don't know if this is even possible but I was brainstorming one day and thought about it and thought it would be a really awesome swap if it can be done. Although that particular drivetrain probably costs more than what your average Venge is worth I still think it would make a really cool swap.

yeah, i knew the 3.0, 3.3, and 3.5 are all possible swaps, I just thought that the 3.8 would be ultimate.

I think Alain nipped this one in the bud, something about the engine was just too big without doing expensive fab work that might and probably would jeopardize the structural integrity of the chassis
