A Scion XB toaster with a small block Chevy V8

The biggest lacking thing on the Scion XB is its power and wrong wheel drive. For some odd reason, I kinda like the toaster shape of it.

The owner of this Hot Lava Orange XB is Rick who has managed to squeeze a stroked 350 Chevy V8 that outputs 450 hp. What’s amazing is that he managed to fit all this into the XB’s shoe-box sized engine bay. And why not convert this econo-box into a mad tight drifter? Well Rick did just that, converting the XB’s front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive.

The project isn’t finished yet Rick says but so far so good I’d say.

with 400 hp and plenty of torque, an AT isn’t too bad.
