Do you folks think THIS engine would fit into a Viento?

Not a bad price considering the power and add-ons.

ATB Dan.

In fact just re-read it, that's and engine and box for the money
Dan.

I've got nearly all those parts for my Bentley Turbo R.
(I know somebody who worked on the Blackpool project.)

It's good for 1007bhp, that engine took a 2.5ton Bentley Turbo R over 200mph

Engine weighs 270kg and the gearbox 120 Thats all on 400kg with a clutch.

Nearly as much as a pinto!!!!!

Clutch?

It's an auto (GM TH400).

You'd be spilling a lot of Grey Poupon with that much power.

What's Grey Poupon?

Our Bentley Turbo is the best £7000 we've ever spent, I'm so glad we didn't buy the 3 year old Golf, we looked at before!!

It's funny as hell when you get somebody in a £20k+ rep mobile say "I wish I could afford 1 of those" not realising they could have bought 3 or more for the price of their boring, sleep enducing, euro box!!!

I don't know what Grey Poupon is either. I have a Viento and I think the engine would fit as most engines seem to. There's that fella on here that fitted the V10 viper engine. Wisely though he has strengthened his chassis which I personally think is a good idea.

People don't realise that some luxury cars go for silly money when they get to ten/twelve years old. My friend bought a Jag XJ8 V8 long wheelbase version. It was mint condition and was generally a beautiful car. He paid 3K.

My Toyota Soarer originally sold for £53K in 1994 - I bought it for £1200!!

Hell if you can afford the Engine - Make it fit !
