Heres some potential engines that would definitely be UNIQUE to say the least. For us US buyers they are a bit pricey, but with the exchange rates as rediculous as they are now, for alot of you euro/GBP guys these prices are actually bargains.


Couldn't resist haha, Ferrari 360 engine

Think I like about SBC and LS engines is replacement parts are relatively cheap. Thats not going to be the case with any of those.

That Lambo sounds nice unless you know that the crank ALONE costs £11,750 yikes

Lambo has the gearbox included, and it points forward ... but 4WD, could make a car around the engine..

One great idea is the Audi R8 drive train. They are coming out with the auto-clutch transmission (like in the F1 cars, NOT tiptronic), and this mated with the Audi V8 engine, and also coming is the V10 and V10 TDI.

Remember seeing them at a boat show years ago... they are super-heavy!

It would be cheaper to buy the Lamborghini already assembled.
