RE: [Peugeot-L] Engine swap

A friend of mine managed to drop a T16 out of a 405 into a 205 CTI, looked very hot and drove like a cannonball. His 2nd project was a V6 out of the 605/406 into the 205 GTI. Ran as if it was chased by a bomb exploding. Fitted all barely and made the cooling getting pushed to the max but it worked. Don't know what he's working on now.  

Cheers

Saab engine would be cool - I especialy like their engine management - way ahead of their time...

Not sure if you've seen this - but the SR20DET Nissan motor would be another very nice engine to fit to it...

If I were to do the work of an engine swap though - I thing a nice LS3 or similar all alloy V8 would be a very nice touch... :)
