I know Dave, top bloke, likes beer:thumb:

lol, for those arguing it is possible, yes it is. There is a guy running round in a tank engined SD1 FFS, LMFAO

No doubt its possible.

If you can put a jet engine in a beetle, you can put a LC engine in a Nova lol

indeed but who is going to spend all that time an money to try an make an inferior vehicle faster lol

i know someone with a wrx sti engine doing about 350bhp in an old bug...

not that its of any relavance, but that thing is scary.

common conversion that is, if my sources are correct i think its only the gearbox mount that needs modifying?

something like that, and with the engine being slightly bigger, a hole needs to be cut in the rear bench.
