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.

Although the project isn’t finished yet, Rick’s RWD, V8 powered Scion sure grasped our attention. -More pics after the jump
