Don’t care about the negative thoughts from anyone just posting a crazy idea that may be possible in my future.

Kinda crazy idea here. Putting a coyote 5.0 in a Kia k5 make that rwd and then add a whipple supercharger on top, and add a t56 6 speed manual transmission.

But issues are, custom engine mounts, probably gonna have to make the front end a bit longer, my center console is gonna be gone cause of the t56 transmission, same with the 12’ screen. Then gonna need a rear diff and see if that fits, then gonna need to make a custom fuel tank, then gonna need to make the driveshaft fit.
crazy idea ngl. An even crazier idea is putting a coyote 5.0 in a Kia k5 make that rwd and then add a whipple supercharger on top, and add a t56 6 speed manual transmission.

But Ik my issues are, custom engine mounts, probably gonna have to make the front end a bit longer, my center console is gonna be gone cause of the t56 transmission, same with the 12’ screen. Then gonna need a rear diff and see if that fits, then gonna need to make a custom fuel tank, then gonna need to make the driveshaft fit.

any thoughts on if it’s actually gonna be possible.

Money aside, when talking about that kind of fabrication and skill set required if you need to ask a public forum about ideas because “my issues are” the project is already dead.
