I saw something absolutly crazy on the boob toob the other day and wondered if any astro owner is crazy enough to attempt a similar engine swap.
Actually the boob on the tube had a dodge caravan, and it wasnt so much an engine swap because he kept the original fwd engine able to run, BUT...
He installed a turboshaft jet engine from a helicopter in the cargo area and opened up the back doors!! Talk about a "Sleeper" Can you say Afterburners!!
LOL, I roflmao at it, but it was cool in a twisted sort of a way.

Yrs ago there was a kit to bolt on the back of rear ends turbo jet engines with a funnel like exhaust that when out the back.Racked my brain to try to find a google link and couldn't find it.

Some people have too much time on their hands. And money. Those turbines, if you can find them in military surplus, run in the neighborhood of $50,000. And that doesn't include all of the mods required to make them work in this application. It's still pretty neat. I'd like to see some quarter mile runs.

Bet he doesn't have problems with Kyle Busch ramming into him on purpose.
