RWD Scion xB With 450 HP Chevy V8 Engine !


Who ever said you can’t or shouldn’t fit a small block Chevy V8 into Scion’s box-on-wheels (some even call it the xB)? And even if someone did say it, this bloke wasn’t around to hear it. The owner of the vehicle, who goes by the name Rick, squeezed a stroked 350 Chevy V8 that delivers 450 HP into the xB’s miniscule engine bay and while he was at it, he changed the Scion’s front-wheel drive layout into rear-wheel-drive. Although the project isn’t finished yet, Rick’s RWD, V8 powered Scion sure grasped our attention.
