I know some people say that LS swapping anything is always the answer. But I'd give extra points to anybody who would manage to cram a Saab engine under the hood.

[@bobmcl2406]

Jaguar XK inline 6. Bonus points if you also use the manual gearbox with the Laycock overdrive unit.

[@Alterscapes]

Oddly enough, the only 929 I've encountered in the wild was driven by a family friend's wife, who upgraded to a late 90s XJ8 after it died. So there is historical precedent, if you squint at it funny!

[@EvanMoon]

Easy choice, S-10 engine and running gear. Really reliable, tons of parts available.

[@brettstueland-yt6dl]

4.0L V6 and manual from a B4000 pick-em-up truck seems like the rational choice....so not very Lemons, I suppose.

[@waynelutwiniak797]

Buick 3800, supercharged.

[@mikepittinaro3093]

I hear tell that 4.9 Cadillac V8's make ideal engine swaps for 90's Mazdas.

[@dascooter8287]

The 929 was supposed to be just the first of a upmarket family of vehicles (a’la Lexus or Acura) they intended to sell under the Amati banner. Global economics being what they were that never quite happened.

[@alcoholic1760]

Only one answer for a heavy Mazda sedan, 13B.

[@PapiDoesIt]

The obvious replacement for an underpowered V6 with limited reliability and parts availability is a Chevrolet 2.8 V6 and automatic transmission from an early S10.

[@sofielee4122]

you gotta 20b swap it, you simply must! bonus points if you still manage to get it under budget. call it the cosmon't

[@mikepittinaro3093]

Twin 20b rotary swap it

[@MrGaryjames1]

stick a lexus v8 in it married to a supra manual box thats bound to er (dominate)

[@RO8YO]

Clearly a LS400 imitator, 1UZ that thing.

[@alimin8r201]

How about a dual engine setup- Chevy Cobalt in front and a Smartcar engine in back, just in case.

[@stevemccravy7169]

It needs an old slant 6 and a three on the tree

[@HFV_Junkyardin]

I had no idea these were RWD, was the Millennia?

[@nriqueog]

How about a 7 L 426 Hemi? Made in the US, plenty of engine/tranny parts...What could go wrong?

[@jason1hut]

An egg salad sandwich would have been better.

[@squiggysrevenge2060]

Mazda F2 from a b2200. Get the mx6-gt manifods and go turbo.
Less power, less reliability!

[@konekillerking]

Did DiAngelo cash the check? And she wasn't a paid actor? She said what she said.

[@Dangaio]

I hear Alfa engines might totally fit in there...

[@ChrisClark_808]

Hey!

[@guest6423]

Uh, howabout a Mazda 1.8l K8 V6 with 5 speed. D'ohc!

[@HFV_Junkyardin]

Toss your car batteries into the ocean

[@derel1cte]

Predator swap.

[@kipholder8577]

Cumins swap
