So, Who's dropping a V8 in an HHR?

no need

Then again, it didn't really need the stage kit

A bigger turbo with supporting mods to keep the 30MPG would be cool though

You know I met with Marc the other day to install my GMPP Intake and I actually commented that there seems to be a lot of room inside the HHR. Almost like it was meant for a 6cly. I think it could be done maybe with another GM engine.

Wouldn't it be more practical for a V6 in our cars? I don't really know how it all works, but my Lumina gets the same mileage with a V6 and it's a heavier car. Wouldn't a 6 work less, thus getting more mileage? I don't really know... But the power would be much nicer.

I always thought it'd be cool to get a custom power cradle fabricated for the LS4/4T65-HD engine/trans out of the Impala SS/Grand Prix GXP. People are putting those in old Fieros too.
