Default Engine cover fun

Hello All,

I was cleaning the engine bay a bit while monkeying around in the garage and suddenly had a moment of clarity. The engine cover can technically fit over almost any engine. So what does that give you? Blammo! Instant 'F' engine swap! Check it out and feel free to participate.

1992 Miata - killer power to weight ratio with room to spare!





2007 Saturn Vue - AWD soccer mom sleeper!



1991 Eagle Talon - transverse swap: they said it couldn't be done!

LOVE the Viper swap! In these tough times, think of the fuel savings you'll see swapping from a thirsty 8 liter V10 to a thrifty 5 liter V8! The savings at the pump will definitely pay for itself! (In about 45 years of daily driving.)

C'mon guys! We need some more swaps!
