Twin Turbo 1971 Scamp Project

If it was a rare and special car I would have kept it correct. But this will be another Mopar that beats up on the other brands and doesn't have to tell its secret.

I'm glad we have the purists who keep the important cars they way they were. My daughter and HER 71' Scamp is kind of like that!

I wish more people would get this sentiment. I just dealt with this purist nonsense when discussing the possibility of going LS powered on my car w/ my dad if/when the magnum blows up.

I would freak if someone did this on say a GSS demon/hemi dart(using "rare" a-body examples), but to me anything common and cheap is fair game for hybrid swaps. Its just hotrodding at its core. You take the body you like(maybe lighter, maybe you like the styling better/etc) and you add a better/lighter/more powerful engine.(whichever the case may be)

OP: Could you get some detailed pics of how it mounts/oil pan/ how low it sits?

Those 2JZ's are pretty tall engine i believe. And kudos for doing this, it was on my mind about a yr ago when my friend was temporarily storing a 2jz and some other honda motor for his neighboring import shop. I love the way those turbo 6's sound.
