wow &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

I'm usually against swaps like that, but the more I learn about them the cooler I think it is. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/turn.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':turn:'>

[whateverjames]

i'm very interested too. i hope it's real. if so, i'll be looking for a 302 or a 350/6 speed from a 93+ camaro. and it wouldn't bother me if 155 horsepower engine owners would shun me <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I doubt any of us would shun you, we just wouldn't let you hang out with us <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> . But what am I talking for, I won like 135 (I think) I4 Camry Pride (at least it's 2K1, not living in the 90s no more, or 80s for some of you pig nosers &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> )

[DamnedButDetermined]

How much more does this kind of engine weight? &nbsp;That is the only thing that i see that could be really wrong with this swap! &nbsp;Does anyone know what the smallest usdm V8 engine was in? &nbsp;I am hopeing they made something like a 3-4L V8...That way i could make a high revving machine with the smoothest powerband <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[AKADriver]

Buick made a 3.5L V8 in the early '60s. &nbsp;They ended up selling the tooling to Rover.

It's not much of a performance motor though. &nbsp;If you're concerned about weight the Ford 302 is really the way to go. &nbsp;Keep in mind the 302 has a much shorter stroke than even an SR (it's only 76mm). &nbsp;Its revs are limited by the valvetrain, not the piston speeds. &nbsp;There's a huge aftermarket for it, too.

[Dark]

This website (http://britishv8.org/swaps/motors.htm) talks about swaping usdm engines in smaller cars it has the dimensions of the 302 and it's weight.

I also found out that Don Nimi weighed the Ka it came to 309 Ibs

The 302's weight varies from 424 Ibs to 519 Ibs

[DSC]

here (http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB9&Number=335602&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1) is a link to the talk about a v8 swap on FA. &nbsp;Good info <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

IIRC don weighed his engine w/out anything attached to it right?

[Dark]

Yes, Don weighed the engine w/out anything attached to it. The swap should make the front end heavier but I don't know by how much.

[wa-fu]

Seems like you would need a bigger radiator too. &nbsp;Is the one in the photo the stock S13 radiator? &nbsp;The photo makes it look like the engine and the (stock?) radiator are already pretty close.
Also, what about a Ford 289 V8? &nbsp;It might weigh less.

[Natty]

But does the a/c work &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
I don't care if it does or not, I want that.
Reminds me of that Darius guy with the 240z with a 6speed LS1, blown!

The 289 block is the same family as the 302,and the 347 is just a stroked 302, so they wouldnt weight any different.

[MyFirst240SX]

for like 1000 dollars you can put a small Psi super charger on a 302. &nbsp;that what got me, all i want out of my car is to make pretty sounds and go fast.
