General Engine swap?

[jota69]

I have a completely restored 1969 500 and I just found another 500 that needs restoring for cheap and I was thinking of buying it and do some kind of engine swap in it. I was thinking of a toyota MR2 engine swap. Anyone has installed this tipe of engine in a 500? What other engine swaps have people done on this cars?

I was thinking about doing the same thing but with small 1.3L honda civic engines. I would love to see a guide someone make of them doing a swap.

Have a look at my website http://www.retro500.com to see what engine swaps have been done already.

Give me a shout if you need any mor info and don't forget to send some pics of your build and finished car.

Nigel, awesome builds. Besides building a subframe on your fire 1108 engine, did you have to do a lot of chassis fabrication?
