Currently engine modding is not supported unfortunately.
If it was I can guarantee there would be engine mods already.

would it be possible to change placement of the distributor to the rear of the motor?

Don't know, there might be someone more knowledgeable to tell you that.

No cant be done no one has access to anything to do with engine 3d models

From what i have seen digging around in the files even if we could add our own engines it would not be simple task like adding a car and would require scripting knowledge to add them

I wish that they would open up engine modding, i personally wouldn't mind scripting for custom engines.

diesel please!!!!!!!!

No RB love? lol

I'd really like some proper Honda and Nissan engines, notably for the 240sx and 300ZX TT.

yah opening up the z and not seeing the VG was a bit of a sad moment.

Hoping to see Engine swapping and what not kinda like the old street legal stuff. get the EJ VG JZ KA H series from honda, so on so forth. Basically just want accurate engines and the ability to swap. IF not the ability to swap, just accurate engines.

I mean it did jsut come out. im sure they'll keep adding and adding and adding as time goes on.

What I would really be happy with is this, if you pull the motor out of the car, I think you should be able to place any motor in the car that corresponds with the drive train. So if you pulled a V8 out of a drag car, I think you should be able to put a I4 in its place. I would also like to see free builds where the type of manifold you put on the car is totally up to you if it is acceptable on the particular motor you are building. So if I want to reduce the car that I am building from being supper charged to having dual carbs, I think it would be nice to just be able to swap top end components without having to mod the game in the editor.

Is there any way to swap any motor into any car? like replace a V8 OHV motor with at V12 or something else?
