Do you think I could fit one of those into a VW Polo?

 Here's a Meteor engine in an SD1  It's a project car in Practical Performance Cars- most magazines, you get "staff projects" and it's "This month I've fitted new wheels, aren't they lovely". PPC, "This month I put a tank engine into a Rover and MOTed it, then took it to Goodwood Festival of Speed and gatecrashed the hillclimb"

Wildest one I ever tried was a Mk11 two door Cortina Automatic
Full Lotus race engine,2000e Corsair gearbox[straight cut rally box] and a 3.0 GT Capri back axle. It shook like a bag of bolts below 4000rpm and then went like **** of a shiney shovel By the time it was finished it had A Frame anti tramp bars mod brakes/suspension complete respray and cost a fortune to insure but it did have a Ministry Certificate |
