Would this power plant fit a Noble?

Would be perfect, surely?

It's the wrong way round.

And it won't bolt up to the gearbox. Not seen one used in a FwD config so can't even do an engine and trans swap.

Also people have made masses of power out of the 3.0 engine. The real need is for a gearbox to take the torque.

And the transmission is no good on its own?

How about this in a noble. Says at the bottom can be made to work in pretty much any car! http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/news/a-world-first...

You do realise that they are just using the BMW box. And that is a longitudinal box. Not a transverse like in the noble.

Yeah, I thought about that just after hitting the post button🙄. It would need to be a full on engine and box transplant. Not going to be trying it any time soon, but 420ish n/a horse powered high revving v8 with 7 speed box would be fairly interesting.

Just buy a Ferrari! The noble would still be quicker. If you want it to rev get someone like jetstream to mod the topend and fit new cams. Turbos would then become you limiting factor. Nothing a set of GT28s could t sort out.
