New to this sort of thing but I thought I would start off with a question that has crossed my mind a few times.
If you could put any V8, drive line, ect in your Magna (money is no object) what would it be?
And would you keep it frount wheel drive (:nuts: insane!!:nuts: ) or make it the sickest RWD on earth?

My dream list;
*Holden VL V8, Turbo,
*3 speed quick shift auto
*9 inch LSD
*Tubbed With monster slicks on the rear.

Dreams are free.:D

why would you want to use the 5L from a VL... hahaha..

hrm... woulnd't mind putting the 5.5L V8 engine from the e55 amg in it.. of course supercharged..

or for wank factor a 454... but a nice 351w would sound nice

A mate just dropped one in his Torana and dam!:shock: Fast. Very Fast.

327 Chev engine, rear wheel drive with 10 bolt from a Chevelle, g/box dunno have to think harder for that one.
Just keep out any rubbish Ford running gear.

well ive been thinking about this for a few weeks now makin a 2nd gen v8 for the summernats wont b this year lol but next

rear wheel drive
572 big block woooooooooooo man i love that thing
9" rear and tubed
2 speed powerglide with giant stall converter

now as for the stearing if I leave the magna front in it but take the engine and all out take the tailshaft n joints out would it still turn etc??? what I mean is do the tailshafts etc make it stable strong etc

Good Question:confused:. I would have thought you would have to put in something like independent wish bone or something. Don't know how it would go, use to have a Pajero. Top heavy + wish bone + cornering fast = $10,000 to fix roll over damage:rofleek:

I'd use the Mitsubishi 8A80 GDI engine (4.5 L DOHC V8)

As above, keep it all mitsu.

keep dreaming

Its not all about speed, its how good you look while rollin

Midnight black ext

Shadow chrome ROH 20 inch rims
Two shades darker than leagal tint.
Tinted tail lights and head light covers
red neons under

dreams are free and this one makes me drool:drool:

This thread reeks of n00b.

I'd just buy another car instead of trying to make my TR a 'fully hectic sleeper' namely something that picks up girls under the age of 40, sex appeal is where it's at.

4.2L turbo form the audi RS6 into an AWD.....

It's just a Magna shell ontop of a premade chassis and engine like the Holden and Ford V8 Supercars.

As for the thread, I'd take the 4.3L V8 out of the Ferrari F430 - 366kW N/A goodness. I'd keep FWD tho. lol

thats the stuff right there, 366KW+ ATFW then throw in a Wet NOS kit and start pulling 9's down the Q!! :bowrofl:

personally i'd keep it still in the v6 family.. with the DOHC 3.5v6 (from memory there is such a thing), turbo or supercharged, and hav AWD with custom settings to 20/80... and pimp factor it'll hav a VIP style wide body kit, a set of 19"s with deep dish, it'd be jet black, with cream interior and chrome and woodgrain everywhere :D








and possablility it be a 3rd gen wagon :P

i'd dump the m3 gtr v8 into the car, switch it to rwd, and upgrade the interior and body to make it look hot

v8 from an M5.

Add angel eye head lights.

RWD BMW M5 transmission.

BMW M5 body.

BMW M5 interior.

BMW M5 badges.

BMW M5 suspension.

Yep, that BMW M5 would make the baddest luxuriest superrest magna ever.

V10 man.. get with the times! :P

20B tripple rotor turbo, hellllll yeah!!!

no one thought of the 8.0L V10 engine from a Dodge Viper??? hell that engine will be so big, it would be sitting next to u in the cabin

700ci Keith black repo Ford big block with a 14/71 blower, mechanical injection, nitrous, and methonal. backed up by a lenco 2 speed airshift, and a big stall converter. doun the back will be a 4 link and a 9" with a full spool, and floating hubs, with 34x15.5 x 15 slicks

i predict around 3000hp

502 Big Block Chevy with custom drivetrain to handle the stock 550hp output.... and then quad turbs it.

just wondering,what did macbeth have in his car

I'd go AWD, with the F6 Typhoon engine. Yea its not V8 but still its a cool. If its was V8 hmm... I'd take a Benz SL55 AMG engine and go RWD.

Found my dream car here! (http://www.holden.com.au/)

Not quite a magna, but a statesman.

it is when you get rid of 2 cyclinders.lol:bowrofl:

just wondering,what did macbeth have in his car

it was a 400ci C.O.M.E. racing all alloy small block V8, based on the holden 5l

Wasn't there a 2 door magna with a v8 in it in a street machines magizine...some guy named daryl, red in colour.

yes, daryl mcbeth, has a red custom made magna, with a v8 400ci engine.. won god of autosalon this year too, from wat the magazine is saying

Wasn't it SMOTY too?
Saw that car in the flesh, everything was awe-inspiring besides the sony gear...no thanks..

The Mitsu v8 looks like it has potential. DOHC, and only 4.5 litres, it pushes out some ponies.

# Power — 206 kW (280 PS) @ 5000 rpm
# Torque — 412 N·m (304 ft·lbf) @ 4000 rpm

A twin turbo 8 cyl rotary ( if at all possible). If not possible ill buy huge block of ali and sum chisels and drill bits and make my own. WooHoo
