"Hey all, just curious to see what others think about swapping out the V8 in my 8C Spider. I've always been tempted by the 3.8L V6 from the E60 M5 (yeah, I know, sacrilegious). Anyone done this swap and have some insight they can share?"
"Dude, I know it sounds crazy, but if you're gonna mess with the 8C's Italian goodness, I think a Ford SVT Coyote V8 swap could be a solid choice. The power and torque it puts out would be insane under that sleek Spider body. Worth exploring if you're feeling bold!"
I'm all for some engine swaps, but for a 8C Spider, have you considered the Nissan VR38DETT? The power and reliability would be a killer combo with this beauty. It's a bit more exotic than a usual swap, but it'd still be an awesome conversation starter.
