Chevy V8 in my Smart ;)

Now there's a title that should get your attention.
Sorry for the tease though, its not quite what you think.



I had to drive 70 miles or so to go get this today. Hmmm....the F350 at 12mpg or the smart at 43mpg....

The guy at the machine shop looked like he was ready to kill me when I pulled up, that "I meet you here on my day off and you show up with a car that will NOT carry this"
Fit fine (obviously) with room to spare.

Just a little more proof that small "impractical" cars aren't all that impractical.

Man that is amzaing!!! I should put a spare v8 in the back of mine, so when my race car breaks at the track my smart has the donor ready lol

Ahhhh, but only if it were an aluminum small block. Then that'd be something. I may have a few small blocks sitting around in the garage....

Here is a v8 engine computer case. Perhaps it could fit into a Fortwo?

I found a mini v8 engine.

There is also a mini jet engine there too. Make one fast Fortwo?
