^hahaha... i say do the 6g75 but, fricken balance that out and machine it in a way so you can hit 12,000 rpm, lower the stroke, make it a nice big bore, and then Twin turbo it, oh and then have awd but make it electronic, meaning you could swap between rwd and awd... :) that would be the ultimate g, awd for the line, rwd for drifting..... !!!

No, the only choice to be unique is the 8A80. It'd be the first, and only V8 street driven Galant.

Pshh... Imports don't have V8s lol

**beam514** · 08-26-2010, 09:54 PM

Only the nice imports run V8s, all others are garbage.

The Mitsubishi Proudia and Mitsubishi Dignity also ran the 6G72, so the engine mounts should match up just fine. Its physical size is also not that much larger than a 6G72, or 6G74/75. It also weights little more than 50lbs more. It should be very doable, especially if you relocate the battery, and wire tuck the engine bay to help free up needed space.

hm.. sounds interesting.. I don't know if I like a transverse mounted V8 though lol. dunno why

and galantman03, the Hyundai Genesis has a V8, at least I think they're coming out with one. It's going to be BAD ASS

Because they are a pain in the ass ;) I happen to own one, and it's no fun to work on.

S10 frame + Galant body = RWD made somewhat simple.

I once seen a 454 RWD Cavalier. It was on a shortened S10 frame of course, but from the looks of it, didn't appear too difficult (using that statement loosely depending on one's mechanical ability). The instrument panel was the only part needing modification to the interior besides the steering column and shifter assembly. Any takers?

the jdm ones shoot a little to the right cause they are from rhd.

dont they drive on the left in Japan so the line would go up on the left? The reason his go up on the right is like Beam stated, for the traffic signs and so fourth.

The Hyundai Genesis Sedan is already out with a 4.6L V8 Tau Series engine. And it IS BAD ASS, I rented one in Florida a few months back, smooth, sounds mean, and is crazy on the highway.

The Hyundai Equus (upmarket from the Genesis), is already equipped with Hyundai's version of the Mitsubishi 8A80, a 4.5L V8. In theory, the Tau is derived from the 8A80.

No harder to change one extra spark plug after taking out the intake manifold.

if and when changing plugs. Everything is just cramped in there. Dave I'm sure you have worked on at least a few V8 SHOs and plenty of 4.6L Northstar engines. They are no fun.

I got some new 3000k bulbs for my projector fogs. I thought i would try something new, other than the 4500k that was in there. Mann i love this new setup, they are BRIGHT as hell, im enjoying them. Let me know what yall think. (Pics were taken with my iphone, so their not all that great.)

This is without the fog lights on

With the fog lights on

And a bunch of stupid Mercedes other German cars...you thought the American cars were crazy...

**RAZ_76** · 08-27-2010, 11:30 PM

Fock a Northstar, I hate those stupid engines. I had to pull the engine out just to replace the oil pan gasket on a 2001 Cadillac, what crack was that designer smoking when he drew the specs?
