first car ideas?

[mike5721947]

well i love the look of the older bmw's like this one
bmw 2002
and the skylines
skyline 2000 gt-r
and the datsun 510's
510

but i want to do a engine swap and i heard that a mustang 5.0 works in the 510 and what would be a good starting point with suspension and drivetran?
because i can get the motor and trans from a mustang but the car i am worried about getting and doing the mods, i just want to make sure it will work before i start gathering parts

also i am going to try and do this in the next 2 years (turning 16 in june) and wanting to do it all under $5000 dollars cnd.

so what car should i be trying to get that will handle the power of the motor?

also will the stock suspension of the cars i listed hold up to the weight of the larger engine?

for the donor car i mostly want to get a boxier car like the ones i have listed (a sleeper)

the easiest to find and easiest to modify is probably the 2002

for the 510 i'd swap in either an sr20 or a lt1

the 13b rotary engine fits in the 510 well, or so ive heard.

well i want ot get some americian mucsle in a small car so the ford 302 should work and i have heard they fit

I've seen a 510 on the auto-x course. those things will handle their asses off.

Yeah 13B's fit too. Also F20C's. Theres plenty of swap options for those 510's.
