I'd actually like to see the 500 1.2 engine in the old non-Abarth 500.

It 's been mentioned before, though not directly, but an LS V8 into an RX-7 FD, as has been done quite frequently Stateside.
Also V6 into an MX5 mk 1 to make a Rocketeer.
Can't be done in the game unfortunately, because Rocketeer use the Jaguar V6 which is not available in GT7 (not the Metro unit in the XJ220). Ford would be closest (the correct Jaguar X-Type unit was basically a Ford engine) but I'm not actually sure if there are any suitable normally aspirated road based V6s in the game, including the Ford one.
I still think Mazda missed a trick by not dropping their own, very sweet 2.5 V6 into an MX5.

I think it would be awesome if we had some shorter tracks and a bunch of straight six muscle cars. I had a Nova with a 250 straight six. It was no slouch. My friend always thought it was a 350 that was a little bagged out. Nope it’s a 250 with a lot of miles! Haha. Blown muffler… haha hence the reason he thought it was a V8
** edit
And why not? We have the six cylinder e type, not the v12!!

M2 1006 "CobraSter" 1992
M2 1006 1992 In the 1990s, Mazda had a bit of a mad moment. Recalling what Honda did with Acura in 1986, and what Nissan and Toyota did with Infiniti and Lexus in 1989, someone at Mazda had the bright idea that to better represent the market position and appeal of its cars, it should split...

So with second swaps being a thing:
- R26B-787B to RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7
- RB26DETT-GT-R-GT500 or LZ20B-Skyline to Fairlady Z 432
- VRH35Z-R92CP to R32 GT-R Nismo
- Evo-Final-Gr.B to Evo Final Gr.B Road Car (will happen sooner or later)
- A V8 engine to 997 GT3
- 332
- Indonesia
I think the gr.b is pointless though

Would still like to see an engine swap for the Racing Kart.

That would be hilarious. Perhaps you could fit the Honda 2&4 engine on it

I am still looking for a 2nd swap for the Tuscan. A V12 from somewhere would be awesome and it would be a backdoor way to give us the Speed 12. I know I posted that wish earlier i the thread but at that time there were no 2nd swaps available but now it becomes a distinct possibility

What recently I've thought (all of these are mainly in the name of fuel economy buff):
- L4-Focus-Gr.B to Sierra and Escort RS Cosworth
- V8-Ford-GT-LM-Test to Ford GT40 (pending addition of real car)
- V6-155-V6Ti to Giulia '67
- V12-F3500-A (when it arrives) to HiMedic/HiAce
- VX-I-Viper-GT3R to all Vipers

Not sure on this but it would be too much for that older car to handle that much power and more...
