paulgtt Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 just been sort of day dreaming again and was thinking of possibly a low budget engine conversion (if there is such a thing!)been trawling through ebay and found 2 cars that I think may go together.this as the car: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-1-LI...p;_qi=RTM687477and this to supply the oomph: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ford-probe-24v-2...=item20bb7b7eb7anyone know if this sort of conversion has been done, im guessing it has and 2.5 or 3.0 v6 go in corsas so why shouldn't it fit?!?!?!yes i know before anyone says anything, there shi**ty Fords but cheap is the key, i can't afford to do my dream conversion until 6 lotto numbers come out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think the Probe is all Mazda underneith?On the other hand the Toyota Camry 3.0 24v V6 bolts straight up to the Toyota gearbox used with the 3SGTE (as in Celica and MR2 etc etc).Bung them in a Starlet.

paulgtt Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 now theres a thought!3.0 v6 starlet? might have to do some research into that. wonder if its been done before? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It's also posssssible to get the 1UZ V8 transverse as well, but a nightmare and hasn't been done on a road car as far as I know (also on the same Toyota gearbox). Fun in inline RWD form though:Just add some itb's: Or a couple of turbos: (1,000 bhp) < erm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
