Toyota SPORTS 800 '65 - 4AG Tuned (AE86 S. Shigeno version)
Autobianchi A112 Abarth '85 - B16B (Honda Civic Type R EK9)
Fiat 500 1.2 8V Lounge SS '08 - 199AB (Alfa Romeo MiTo)
Mazda Demio - SH-VPTR (Mazda Atenza) or 1.5 Skyactiv-G (Mazda MX-5 ND)


I know it'll never happen, but I'd rather see a modest swap than a crazy swap.
I think these are engines that don't disrupt the balance of the base model too much and give modest power for use at higher levels of PP.
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.
 
This game is mainly a host for the straight-six contingent.
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!!

I am intrigued. What car do you have in mind?

 

Thanks for that. I had no idea!
 
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

I think the gr.b is pointless though

Since I forgot something:
  • P65B44-Z4 to all M3s
  • VK45DE-GT-R to 350Z
  • VRH35Z-R92CP to Nismo 400R
 
Some more:

  • audi quattro engine to vw beetle
  • nsx gt300 engine to honda s2000
  • amuse s2000 engine to honda civic eg or ef
  • gac maverick engine to ford mustang boss or mach 1 or ford sierra cosworth
  • nissan r34 or r35 engine to nissan silvias (s13, s14, s15)
  • porsche engines (rsr or 959) to subaru wrx or impreza
  • dodge viper engine to plymouth firebird
  • toyota supra engine (2jz) to toyota 2000gt

If PD go crazy and they seem to look at madmike's build then I would like to see 787B in mclaren gt3.

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
 
Could you imagine?
That'd be like dropping the Mazda Atenza diesel in the Sierra.

I wouldn't mind this though. Especially if an F6 Falcon was inserted into the game. ;)
