They would obviously have to be from the same manufacturers or a tuning company like spoon or blitz and am sure a previous GT let you do this the reason i started this thread is that a have the chevrolet camaro LM race car and i remember that on forza 2 you could put a corvette or an impala engine into a standard 90s camaro ss and would love to do this on GT 5 cos i do think the Lm race car is too slow and think i would make on line racing more fun and random instead of everyone picking the same cars and would like to hear your thoughts on this subject thanks 💡
 
Of course!

And I agree with the same manufacturer thing-you'd be seeing X1 engines in Fiat 500s...
 
another thing is you can overhaul an engine so many times before its no good hence why there is permanent power loss after so many thousands of mile driving.
 
also it should let audi use lamborghini engines and vice versa seeing as audi own lambo and the same with other companys which are linked :) can you imagine droping a lamborghini engine into an audi tt lol :D
 
as long as there is some sort of boundary of a sort lol between manufactures and such. But also if you have the money anything is possible when it come to cars

Time out, I thought one could restore the engines as many times as one wanted to brand new status, and it will always be in tip top shape, and as a matter of fact, better than new (since restored former engines always gain a bit of of horsepower than an untouched engine). :nervous:

In GT5 there is never any permanent power loss.
With engine rebuild option You can regain all the lost power in GT5.
( As well as a oil change and car wash which is included in the engine rebuild price )
The Poster wants engine wear to be permanent like rear engines which it is not currently in GT5.
 
ok my FGT actually now after the enduro race i just complete has 15,183 miles and went down to 931hp even after the overhaul i gave it just now when it should be 935hp
so yes permanent loss

You know that even after an engine rebuild, putting miles on your car will continue to increase the horsepower.
 
Lemme put an '09 ZR1 engine in my 1969 Corvette Convertible, and I'll be a very happy person. :drool:👍
 
The person who wrote this post has no idea what they are saying. In what universe would putting a street spec Corvette engine in a Camaro race car make it faster? For that matter, the older Corvettes and Camaros from the nineties shared the same 350 CI engine, just with different heads and tuning...
 
'49 'Bug with a Ford GT engine in it....Not that it'd fit but ya.


That'd never happen if we had same manufacturers tho
 
Good idea! It would need limits though, because like people have said, you would end up with F1 engines in Fiat 500's...
 
I think engine swaps would be pushing it but it would be nice to have a displacement increase option like in gt4, only it should be available for cars other than the skylines. I would love to bore out my 69 camaro z28 to 350 ci or even 383ci

so why do the police in america always swap there camaro engines for impala ones then??? because they are faster when they do :sly:

Even though they don't have any cars with Ford 460's in them, that would be a blast to bore out, then stroke it.


That '71 Mach 1 Mustang has a 351W in it and I'd love to see that bored out 30 over or even 60 over. Then mod the crap out of that in-game, that probably put it at around 800HP if not slightly more,


Since most 351W blocks can't handle more than 60 over the displacement changes would have to be capped there. Meaning the displacement would be around 363c.i. Not sure if your aware, but every 30 thousanths you shave off increases the displacement by about 6 c.i.

Getting a '69 Camaro to go to 383c.i. would be a pain though (if even safe) because a 289 is a smaller block than a 351W and a 351W can only go up to 363c.i. So that means there is less meat to shave off a smaller block which says that you can't go over 350 c.i when you bore it 60 over. Not sure though, I've heard about blocks going up to 120 over. (Maybe those weren't 289's?) Pretty sure 289's can't go over 350 c.i.d. without having problems. If you managed to get it that high you'd most likely end up blowing a hole in teh block.

Would also be nice to stroke it and change the compression ratios.

Well first the 351 windsor can be safely bored and stroked to over 400ci. I've seen examples at 427 so there is a lot of power to be had there.
As for the camaro the 302 wasn't based on the 289 that was ford. Chevy took their larger small block the 327 and destroked to 5 liters to meet SCCA regulations and to improve top end. So even though no one in there right mind would bore and stroke an original chevy 302 it is possible to get a good bit of extra cubes out of it.

Over 400ci. for a 351W is really pushing it. Most can only be safely push to 60 over without worrying of blowing up the engine. I have 2 351W, one bored 30 over and the other 60. Both are sitting outside my door right now.

For the Camaro I totally forgot it was a 302 lol. I knew that (was debating if it was a 289 or 302, since Ford has made both I couldn't remember what Chevy did). But even still you really need to be careful boring a 302 out that much. Safely you'd probably only get 60 over, maybe 80 over.

Still though I don't think your going to be able to get a 302 over 355cid (safely). That's just me though. Personally I would go over 60 over in a 302 due to the fact the wall of the block could blow out and blow up the engine.

Engine swaps would be great! Here in Australia engine swaps are very popular, there are lots of V8s going into cars that usualy have 4 cylinder engines, 2JZ Turbo engines in some interesting cars too! But my favourite is rotary engine swaps, particularly 20B 3 rotor engines!

At the moment the closest thing I can get to an engine swap on GT5 is putting a racing exhaust on a Mazda RX7 Spirit R, which makes it sound exactly like it has a 3 rotor engine!
