So I have this other hotrod….….I gained this 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy in a deal a while back and I’m not sure if I’m gonna keep it or pass it on. The good: It’s ALREADY V8-swapped(!) with a nice running 80’s vintage 305 sbc coupled to a smooth shifting 700R4. It has good brakes and drives decently. It is fully functional and I’ve driven it to work and back (90 miles round trip) without a problem . I put two new tires on the front and the back tires are in good shape as well. Seems to be a reliable rig. The not so good: The body is in good condition, but has a few rusty spots on the driver rocker panel. Not a big deal. It needs new door seals, and window felts, plus the drivers window needs to be fixed so it will actually roll up and down. Dash is cracked and some of the gauges aren’t functional. All quite fixable. Although it is a V-8, it is not exactly fast. But all the hard work for the swap has been done and all it really needs is an updated engine and it would actually be quite the ripper. All in all, this is a fantastic project that can be driven while it’s being upgraded. It would be the perfect rig to get into HotRodding and learn how to work on vehicles. The question is should I keep it or not. My Granada literally needs nothing and I just drive it and have fun, but the Jimmy is an outstanding back up vehicle for running around for whatever and keeping the miles off my other stuff. Decisions decisions. For now, I’m just going to contemplate the situation by having an outstanding @perdomocigars 10th anniversary Maduro and a snort of Old Forrester 1924.

Brace yourselves for the ultimate transformation! Our B6 Avant just rolled in for a 4.2 swap. Get ready to witness the perfect fusion of power and style.
Twice the cylinders for Twice the fun!!! Was absolutely epic to run the V86 in GLTC and Time Attack at @gridlife South Carolina Festival.

The build is loaded up ready to go. Just waiting on the rest of the body panels and some interior bits then it will be all systems go for the build.

Time to see another of our v8stealthbeetle builders who are scattered around the world. This time it's a trip to Canada and Damian who has spent a lot of time working on his beetle body. As an early adaptor his chassis takes the Audi 4.2l V8 and 2 turbos. This is what Damian says about working with the chassis and components: "This V8stealthbeetle chassis has been an absolute dream to work with. Super complete and well thought out, down to the CV grease. It's the metal work that's the biggest challenge for me. I have made several modifications as well as fully restored the body." Good luck on the final stages of your build Damian. We would love to show your finished vehicle to everyone. #vwbugs #vwbug #fuscaitamar #fuscavw #buildyourowncar #midengined #midenginemuscle #chevylife #chevys #vwbeetles #vwbeetlelifestyle #ls3powered #v8swap #v8life #v8stealthbeetle #restomods #carphotography

This is an interesting one. I've seen plenty of V8 S10s, but not any that are quite like this. It passed us on the 101 on the way to the Pavilions earlier in the night, which is when we noticed the IRS. I figured it was on its way to the show, which ended up being the case. I don't really know much about newish (05+ or so) Chevy stuff but it had what looked like newer Camaro gauges inside it, so I'm guessing that was the donor for the rear end too. I'm really drawn to projects like this for some reason, I've driven my fair share of both S10s and hacked up projects over the years so I guess this one just resonates with me. The way the wide bedsides were done is pretty cool too. I hope to see it around again sometime to get some more photos, it was pretty dark by this point so it was getting tough to get too many good shots. @rockandrollcarshow #v8s10 #s10v8 #v8swap #widebodys10 #s10 #gmcsonoma #jagsthatrun #scottsdalepavilions #s10project #chevys10

A 260Z with a crazy NASCAR heart This 1974 Datsun 260Z was modified by Full Throttle Garage of Morgan Hill, California, with the installation of a BluePrint 408ci V8, a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, 16″ Rota Grid Classic wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a coilover suspension, a roll bar, Recaro bucket seats, Braum harnesses, a Sikky shifter, a MOMO steering wheel with a quick-release hub, and a carbon-fiber hood, spoilers, and trim. It's listed now on BaT! The car was purchased by the seller in 2018 and refinished in white, and work was completed in 2021.

Czas go trochę przedstawić. Czekałam bardzo długo na to żeby odpowiednio przedstawić ten samochód. Zrządzenie losu sprawiło, że nie mogłam przetestować go bezpośrednio po zakończeniu swapa więc robię to teraz. Przedstawiam wam mojego Lexusa IS200, który powstał w 2023 dzięki pomocy @aso_czastka. Silnik 3uz-fe V8 z GS430 w zestawieniu na adapterze z seryjną skrzynią j160 z is200. Postawiony na seryjnym remapowanym kompie od @phoenix_engine_management_ltd . Z dodatkową chłodnicą oleju silnikowego i wspomagania. Z zaprojektowanym od początku do końca wydechem kwasowym od @aso_czastka. Przy okazji osadzania silnika w budzie został usunięty ABS i dołożony został kolektor siły hamowania. Osprzęt silnika został seryjny z 3uz-fe. Połączony z seryjną instalacją elektryczną, klimatyzacją, układem chłodzenia i wspomagania z is200. Ponad to przypomnę, że auto w całości stoi na żółtych poliuretanach, zawieszeniu od D2, z BBK z Mercedesa MLA(W163), z hydrołapą na oddzielnym układzie i zaciskach od Vectry B. #lexusis200 #is200 #v8swap #3uzfe #gs430 not #1gfegang

Have you been watching the development of the V8stealthbeetle over the years and ever wondered "How did they do that?" Well, you can now ask and find out. Yes, we are giving you the opportunity to ask Jean ANYTHING about the development, design, fabrication or assembly of the V8stealthbeetle. Jean is an engineer who cut his teeth on VWBeetles. From there he designed and built his own version of the GT40 and now he has designed from the floor pan up this amazing #chevy V8 powered Bug. All you need to do is write down in the comments your question or questions. We will then take the best ones and Jean will answer them on camera. This is an excellent opportunity to get inside the mind and thoughts of an auto engineer and car designer. What are you waiting for... questions please #vwbugs #vwbug #fuscaitamar #fuscavw #buildyourowncar #midengined #midenginemuscle #chevylife #chevys #vwbeetles #vwbeetlelifestyle #ls3powered #v8swap #v8life #v8stealthbeetle #restomods #carphotography

Next up in the que is the V86. Getting ready for @hyperfest 2024. Currently enjoying a random no start issue when hot and other bizarre voltage issues. Fresh rubber on the way as i bust out my volt meter and get down too business. Last year the intank rubber hose connecting the fuel pump burst and cut the weekend short.

I have no idea how many of these Comet / Falcon SBF motor mount sets I’ve built now. But it’s been a lot! And today I finally built a jig. And it took like 5 minutes and it’s so great. One set sold to Jeff in Arkansas. One set available. Mounts a 289/302 in your 60-65 Comet or Falcon using all factory bolt holes, clears all factory steering, retains a stock fan and radiator. $220 shipped. DM for payment details. #lgkustoms #comet #falcon #v8swap #302swap #mercurycomet #fordfalcon #sbf #smallblockford
Got the F100 out of the garage today and and rolled the new YJ project jeep in to get working on it. We picked it up with it already having a 91 Ford 5.0 HO in it and a 241J transfer case swapped in. Now just have to wire the fuel injection up and put some new axles together for it before we can get it up in the brush. #jeep #ford #v8swap #yukongearandaxle #beaverslidejeeps
