Will it fit
Do you folks think THIS
engine would fit into a Viento?
Not a bad price considering the power and add-ons.

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

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.
