There is no such thing as a V6 Matrix or V6 Vibe. Both have only ever had 4 cylinder engines.

How about a 426 Hemi with RWD, now that's custom. There is a Hemi conversion available for the PT Cruiser. Mallett cars makes a V8 conversion for the Soltice, so why not.

Mallett cars makes a V8 conversion for the Soltice, so why not.The PT and Vibe conversions would be VERY difficult -- switching from transverse to longitudinal is a major undertaking. Even the unibody floor might have to modified to accomodate a driveshaft.The Solstice on the other hand is a piece of cake -- its already RWD so its basically an engine swap. Mallet also does beef the rest of the driveline though.

honestly... i think it was a typo or something in the add.... in the few months that i was looking for cars... till i got my vibe i had found about 5 different engine typos. even if you could find a conversion kit for it,,, it wouldnt fit inside that engine compartment. that would require ALOT of money, pluss heavy modifying on the block to change the tranny output :0

The PT is also going from about 140HP to over 400HP, so yeah a lot of work and money is involved. The Soltice conversion is about $20,000.00 if I remember correctly.

remember anything can be done for the right money but if i had $20,000 for an upgrade i would have bought something with more power to start with. you can buy a nice 400hp GTo for $30k new.
