    Nothing is impossible if you have enough money and time, probably not practical though. The thing is even after you spend $20K* doing the conversion it is still going to a 1982 Bronco worth only $6500.

    Biggest hassle for putting XR6T motors into non-BA/BG/FG Falcons seems to incorporating the ECU/BCM. Can be done, possibly using an aftermarket ECU is easier? Someone like Dale (10sec rx7) may be able to give more info.
    IMO if you want more power then work up the 351 already in it or put a big block in.
    *number pulled from my arse, obviously depends on how much work you are going yourself, prices you pay for wrecked XR6T/components etc

      It has a 250 in it not a 351.

            20 grand for a passable countach that you wouldn't be afraid to daily is pretty cool.

            i wonder if you could get a V12 out of a 7 series or century in there.

              and that's it's good side!
              Kit car fiberglass panel fitment makes it just like a real 80s Lambo.

                  Perfect candidate for a 1GZ if you could shoehorn it in with box and diff somehow.

                    Looks to be beetle floor pan?
                    Yes, rear engined V12 in a fibreglass bodied beetle should prove to be a challenging drive.
                    I think a little more boost on the wankel should suffice.

                        you can make it look like a countach, but if it doesn't sound like a countach then you're fooling nobody

                          Audi v8 and transaxle mid mounted and l300 front end would save this, but only just. You just wouldn't do it to yourself.

                            Not suggesting an XR6T motor wouldnt be a good swap just not what id choose. V8 Zorst note sounds so right in a Bronco. Its just the Vibe of it.
                            Here's one with undisclosed EFI V8 already installed..

                            Edit - didn't realise these came with EFI V8's.. just add turbo I guess..

                                you can always hear them when they break and they stop the engine immediately so you can't do any more damage.
