Hmm that would be interresting. It would be awesome to see a 67 Fastback in the next movie since they had a 69 Camaro in the last one. This is the car I thought they were putting in F&F 3..

LOL I hope that dude who was complaining about people putting non-original engines in their cars sees this.

**andrewb70** · 12-12-2005

They sure as hell ripped the soul out of that car.

If this is true I hope they do something creative with the exhaust. Otherwise it is just not going to sound right. I have nothing against swapping engines but why I dont think I can stomach this one.

**69Nova** · 12-12-2005

That cars is definatly a beater. But I have to say if that cars was built right and if it had AWD that would be crazy.

**gchandler** · 12-12-2005

That engine is out of a Nissan Skyline.

**TonyL** · 12-12-2005

well, it sertainly looks banged up. and why is the motor leaning over like that?

Oh. and before you go nuts as to why anyone would do such a thing. A skyline motor can make about 1600 hp. Judging by the turbo it probably makes half that. and doesnt weigh very much. So perhaps thats the reasoning. And for the life of me, I cant see why more of our cars dont have japaneze wheels on them.

I think the more pertinent issue here is: WHY IN GOD'S NAME do we need another Fast and Furious crapfest?

I mean, seriously, what's the point? I've been getting a feeling that the ricerboy movement is on a downward slide anyway...

im betting SEMA has something to with it. These movies sell cars and parts. sure they suck. But they are just one and a half hour commercials. Like it or not, it brings car culture to the forefront. And that aint bad, it'll equal more parts being made, prices dropping ect. the only downside is that if kids start thinking our cars are "ricey" and start snapping them up, there will be less of them to go around. The other downside is that these movies marry cars and crime together.

**JohnnyGMachine** · 12-12-2005

You know that is just ridiculous! I 4-cam 4.6 blown Cobra motor woulda been waaaaay cooler than that and you could put a 2.5 Kenne Bell on a 4.6 and make crazy horsepower!!!

I definately won't be in that movie line.

**JoshStratton** · 12-12-2005

...possibly trying to create a new car movement? It is kind of like taking PT with classic cars to a different next level (not saying it is good or bad). It was the next logical step after big brakes, turbos/supers, and blingy wheels.

**TonyL** · 12-12-2005

take into account this movie is shot in tokyo. the car would have been modified there, by what they had available. so it makes way more sense.

**6'9"Witha69** · 12-12-2005

All this does is bring some false justification to the ricers that American engines are heavy, inefficient and slow. Not true today but will cause even more of those ricer boys to rev up on us at the stoplight. [hangs head in shame]

**Gonzostyle** · 12-12-2005

they could put a Type R emblem on the car........

Well guys have been sticking V8s into Japanese cars for years. What goes around comes around. I just pray its wicked fast.

Yeah, and for good reason! Jags, Miatas, MGs, RX7s etc. have all rec'd V8s. It seems totally backwards with what they've done here.

So what exactly is the objection? The fact that it is a not a V8, or the fact that it is an engine of Japanese origin?

**Blown353** · 12-12-2005

That would look cool next to the Chevelle with the Toyota 2JZ-GTE in it (unfortunately I can't find his webpage right now) or the guy from Banks building a Nova with a 2JZ-GTE in it.

Granted it may be fast but it just wouldn't sound right.

**6'9"Witha69** · 12-12-2005

Pretty much. I know it looks cool and all. OOOH Turbos! OOOHH Skyline motor! I have no problem with swapping what will work best, but disgracing vintage iron with import power?!?! It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! This is similar to the brand loyalty expressed in other threads, but is more a generic knowledge that the V8 is dominant. It is like a step backwards. So they can make 1600 hp. Great. What about torque? That is definitely needed to motivate ~3500 lbs. I know ricers with 700 hp and 300 lb/ft. goes good at the top of the band but the power curve looks like a cliff! Like I said it makes the punk ricers feel falsely vindicated to see it and that really bugs. Personal taste I suppose. Hell, engine swapping is part of the evolution and history of hot rodding. Maybe I am being contradictory/hypocritical with that statement.
