just curriosoty...but i was wondering what the biggest engine you could fit in a contour without having to like cut away at the firewall or anything...and maybe even the biggest engine that could fit with cutting the firewall...and could it be possible to put a skyline twin turbo in the contour without cutting much away?

i was bored today so i tried fitting the 5.8L engine from my dads F150 in the tour, it was a tight fit, and it really hooked up good with the 4WD, but the truck was a little underpowered with the 2.5L so i swapped them back. stay tuned next week when we stuff in the supra engine with twin turbos! heres a pic of the tour with the engine and suspension off of the F150:

my svt has a skyline R34 GT-R engine swap pushing 450HP to all 4 wheels...all I had to do was port the AC holes and relocate the battery to the trunk...I cut a little piece of the fender off but that was just for weight reduction. I also replaced my coolant with blue carbon fiber made coolant. Dropped my 1/4 mile time .243 seconds, every little second counts you know.
Anyway, I love my ride...it also feels good holding the record of most powerful SVT today ... 12.1@135mph
