No chance. You would have to lengthen the engine bay and convert the car to rear wheel drive. You would also need to have a tanker follow you everywhere you go.

thanks for the response guys Has Martin had alot of experience swapping engines about? i just fancy something a lil different! okay here's another idea.....what about....scooby running gear? i.e. 4wd? with a fair amount of cash....that would be rather good idea ah?

IIRC the Evo 5(?) running gear is more or less a straight swap...

On the other hand the Freelander gear is the same distance wheel to wheel and bolts to a KV6.... - if its 4wd you want

4WD... where you gonna runn the gear? down the Exhaust channel? but then where would the exhaust go? Sidewinder style??

[carmadbaker]

a straight swap? :-O now that would be cool!

hmm....freelander running gear? i want to get power down to the floor not go and check on my cows bud lol

yer having 4WD straight down the middle, run the exhaust straight through the car and out the back....who needs electrically heated front seats?

it is an interesting concept though ah? WHEN i win the lottery i'll plant a rover V8 in a ZS with mitsi running gear and your all welcome to have a go!

okay then this opens another can of worms....if you won the lottery....(you'll obv keep ya ZED!) what would you do to it? be as crazy and "out there" as ya can!?!?

[ZS]

I think I'd have to do this to at least one Zed



Also I've looked into it and the Evo 5 running gear was done on a ZR rally car... not sure it it would go in a ZS without more mods?

[carmadbaker]

lmao!! that drag car is insane!! that would show some scooby's up thats really quite interesting, anything is possible i know....but havin the ZS chassis and setup combined with the grip and stability of an evo....talking business dude

[Blinky]

this is interesting...i have always thought the zs would be better if it had 4wd...i may consider it...donations welcome

[coreygraham180]

if you want some roar from a zed you need to fit an engine from a 5.0 liter corvette and go V8

that will put one huge smile on your face
