Has anyone come across any successful motor swaps in an xB/bB? I've been surfing the net and looked through numerous magazines but have only come across the V8 swap awhile back. Most of the other results on the net have been either speculation or inquiries on how it should be done. Anybody come across any photos or anyone who has done a swap?

That is the only one I've ever heard of too. A search would have found several threads just like this.

Well if you noticed in my post I did indicate that I surfed the web which includes this site and others. Most of those "other" posts on this thread were referring to suggestions or questions about doing a motor swap. I started this post to try to see if anybody has actually successfully completed one.

that was funny...

that was around the time my car was supposed to go and have the motor built and the turbo done... I saved a lot doing the motor on my own and going with the SC'er

I have seen a rear wheel dirve XB with a 22RE Turbo in it. that is the old Toyota Pickup motor. It was in the 2005 catalog at scion.

really?!
That one was cool as heck, but it was a successful install was it not?

RedneckwithanxB

but didnt it showup somewhere else after it was "totaled" just fine? or am I thinking of another car?

No this car never was fixed and in reality it was just the xB shell on a Toyota truck frame.
