Exhaust is all wrong. But, i'm not a fan of cross breeding in general.
To all of the haters, how is this any different then cramming a vette engine into a RX-7?

Hate that too! Part of what makes a car a legend are the guts that go into it.

Putting a 289 into a Sunbeam Alpine? Putting a 351 into a Miata? Putting a bigger engine into a Fiesta to turn 12 second ETs? These all make sense. Even putting a Chevy small block V8 into a Jag XKE I can understand, especially after knowing the owner of an old Jag who frequently visited it at the shop where it sat.
But somewhat lateral swaps, like trading engines between an early Z28 and a Boss 302? Or between an STI and an Evo? Why would a rational person do that? The resulting cars would still be fun to drive/race, I'd drive them each if given a chance, but to DO and PAY for such swaps? That's just silly.

heres my opinion i won't rush out and rip out a v8 from an old mustang but that being said if i had a fastback mustang with a v6 in it and i had all the parts and skill to do the skyline swap id do it
