recommended engine swaps for a 1981 210...?

i’ve come to the conclusion that i need something besides an A series if i wanna get my shit sideways, so now i’m on the hunt for something simple to drop in this teeny car that won’t cost me a fortune to fabricate. was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? nothing too crazy, the original plan was an LS swap but not only do i lack the junkyard to find a sillverado to rape but i also lack the space/structural ability to put that in this car lol. trying to avoid FWD setups as i’m not too sure how well that would work out with the whole lack of space issue.

Start by doing some research so you're better prepared to have a constructive conversation. We have no idea what your skills are, what your budget is, what "sideways" means in terms of performance. The only information you've given is somewhere between an A, an LS, and trying to avoid FWD.

 

Coolest thing I've ever seen in a 210 is a Hayabusa. 1300cc 200hp loads of potential, under 200lbs with tranny.

At least we know he's got an open mind. That is important when hunting for the perfect engine to swap in.

 

How about an Ecoboost V6? 365hp in a tidy package that only costs $9000 brand new.

I think that would violate the three laws of engine transplants 😄...
