    V8 Insight?

    Pretty sure that one's a Honda four banger.

    Yep, it's a Honda 4 cyclinder. I believe it's an F22A1 from an Accord, IIRC.

    Wow!. That takes skill to get an Aztek (however GM spelled it) to that point

    That one's real; Hot Rod Magazine had it show up in one of their articles on LSx swaps.

    Hell ya it is hot. It ain't pretty but it is still sexy

    The owner of that one is on the ls1tech.com boards. He was thrilled to get in the magazine. From what I hear, it's a blast to drive as well.

    As ashamed as I am to say it, I would drive an Aztek that looked like that. I think lowering the profile of the car helped out alot. Plus the V8 and RWD make a heap of difference too.

    When you make one that cool, you have to get away from the un-cool name. I'd call it the Mayan, or maybe the Incan. Machu Picchu edition.

    I'm pretty sure that's a fake. The proportions of the engine look like a different scale than the Mini. And the hood opening is Photoshoppy to me.

    It's real. And rather odd.

    IMO one the best V8 conversion fits - 240Z

    Check out the webers on this small block Ford/240Z

    Gotta love sidedrafts on a V8!

    Originally I wanted the Weber set up for my TR8 as on the factory TR7/V8 rally cars, but the Holley seemed so much more economically feasible.

    It's real. Shop in Essex, Vermont is responsible for it.
