ckydmk Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I know it might not be the most cost effective way to increase power in a lambo due to the cost of an engine, but has anyone ever done/thought of doing an engine swap? Something the likes of putting an Murcielago engine in an early Diablo. Or even a Murcie engine in a Gallardo. (that would be something) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambornima Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Murcielago engine in Gallardo? I think the Gallardo is too small. and isnt the murcielago engine (lambo v12 in general) rather heavy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, chad is putting a 5.7 SV motor into a CT and there is another member here who has an LM002 motor in a CT. I personally don't agree or understand the motivation behind these "repowers" but to each his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't agree or understand the motivation behind these "repowers" but to each his own. In the case of the LM002 motor, if memory serves me correctly, the reason for the repower is that the original engine had a catastrophic engine failure. My guess is that repair was not an option.

Pantera Report post Posted March 4, 2007 There's a guy in my area who owns a Hot Rod shop who's also rebuilding a 50's caddillac coupe deville and he wants to drop in a Diablo VT engine in it which he recently got. The engine sadly is sitting on the main garage floor collecting dust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
