Very cool. The S13 is a fun chassis and I haven't seen that swap yet, though popping in a domestic V8 seems somewhat common, usually an LS motor from GM.

I'm enjoying seeing more and more of what seems to be a more common trend, to cram an import V8 into a smaller than original import chassis ...reminds me of good old American hot rodding.

I won't pollute this thread with more than this one off topic but related comment, one of the Supra guys is almost finished craming a twin turbo Lexus V8 into the MkIV (the last) Supra chassis, though it's also customized with a hand-made metal widebody ...we are all very excited to hear the results pretty soon; the motor looks like art work to me.
