i wonder how they'd feel about putting the 458 Gr.4 engine into the Lancia Stratos? Given it uses the Dino V6, it should be acceptable. And the Stratos could do with a bit more grunt.
I proposed the Alfa DTM 2.5 V6 for that purpose instead. Same engine type and probably less blockades (plus same fuel buff).
 
-Aston Martin Vantage 2018 receives Aston Mastin DB11 engine (ressembles Vantage V12)
- Suzuki Carry receives Suzuki Swift sport 2017 engine
-Mercedes Benz Unimog 411 receives AMG 300 SEL "red pig" engine
-Renault Kangoo receives Renault clio V6 engine
-Mazda CX-30 receives Mazda3 Gr.4 engine
-Peugeot 205 GTi receives Peugeot RCZ Gr3 engine
-Citroen BX 19 trs receives Peugeot RCZ Gr3 engine
Volkswagen GTI VII receives Audi S1 quattro pikes peak engine

Except the Supra, you're trying to put a five-cylinder long engine into cars with three-cylinder long engine bays... and an otherwise weirdly random list of cars.

V10 Supra... I can see that. This swap in the NA2 NSX to mimic the HSV-010's original "Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept" test prototype would be fun - though packaging a longitudinal V10 in a transverse V6 bay might be awkward, and the car was front-mid.
 
With the addition of GTI-VGT-Gr.3 (VR6 engine) to the swap pool, I hope for it being an option for the TTS '09, as a reference to the HPA FT565 (even if 200cc short).
 
So with the FTO being announced, I feel the Gr.B 4B11T is a shoo-in for it.

I would also nominate the Gr.B Genesis Coupe engine for the Elantra N in name of fuel buff.
 
Wish I could swap a 2L engine in the E36. F20C from the S2000 would work. Mainly smaller engines for cars. Don't always need the bigger engine to make more power. Like the 2L from the GT500 NSX for the NSX-R.
The Ford Duratec 2L from the Caterham would be a sweet swap to make a BTCC E36.
 
Oh, since this got bumped, I feel the CR-V's widebody aero calls for the HR-414E-NSX engine. If only they can figure out engine swaps on hybrids and CVT cars, though...

Reverse: The Caterham getting the RC213V engine to refer to the older Fireblade.
 
Caterham should get Suzuki VGT engine swap
Toyota Chasers should get 3UZ Lexus GT500 and whatever LS

Unimog needs an engine swap for sure maybe Demon Challenger or whatever LS

Also I'd like to get LS swapped Supra and older GT-R

Yes please!

Caterham should get Suzuki VGT engine swap
Toyota Chasers should get 3UZ Lexus GT500 and whatever LS

Unimog needs an engine swap for sure maybe Demon Challenger or whatever LS
Chasers will probably get a Hellcat but I think -hear me out- LS7-BRZ would be perfect for drifting...

Unimog would need a big torque engine... Something like the Quattro Pikes Peak, or a Porsche engine maybe?

Bring on the update!
 
I'd like to get the Sauber C9 swap in the Unimog.

Other than that, the Espace F1 V10 in the Twingo, the Clio V6 and the Kangoo.

For the Kangoo and the Twingo, with a change of drivetrain to MR, that would be funny.
