Crazy ass idea...

Okay, so I was sittin on my lunch break at work, bored, thinking of ways to make my car faster. Forced induction? Not worth the money....more bolt ons? Won't make me fast enough...A-HA....Engine swap! But what kind of engine shall it be....a VQ35? Nah, too expensive, and not worth the extra 32 hp....hmmm how about a V-8....but what V-8 would support a FWD set-up....thinking...thinking....A-HA! The mid 1990's Cadillac Seville STS's with the 4.6L V-8 were FRONT WHEEL DRIVE....Maxiville....has a nice ring to it...but my question is...how possible is this? I mean, a V-8 that is supported by a FWD platform, plus it's not all that big, should fit in the engine bay....plus, a 295 hp DOHC V-8 would be sweet! Have I been inhaling too many exhaust fumes?

lots of cadillacs are FWD v8's. the deville, seville, and eldorado are all FWD v8's. i don't think it's possible or worth it though.

Please, Sell the car. Don't discrace it like that.

I was just throwing out an idea...don't get your panties in a bunch.
Edit: okay let me add more to prevent this from turning it into a flame war...is putting an engine from a car that was 45 grand new really disgracing it, or are you just anti-domestic? I mean come on, they do 350 GM swaps in JAGUARS for christ's sake, is it really all THAT bad...plus, if it makes the car faster, what's wrong with that?

that is the DUMBEST fucking idea ive ever heard bro.....if i were to EVER put a domestic engine in a maxima it would be an LS6...but that wont work....so i'd turbo the fuck out of it....or make a Twin Turbo application

Ok, I guess you've made the point that you aren't big fans of domestics...close this thread...oh wait...no moderators ever come in here.

I'm not anti domestic, seeing as I own one. I just don't believe in crossing manufacturers. Like when Ford parts are put on a Chevy or Vice versa. Oh yeah, I can't stand Cadillacs. Nothing should go into a nissan but a nissan. Thats just the way I see it.
