Do you have a website for it? I want more info!

[slam700]

I do not own this car, i captured it last august but i talked to the owner/builder. The harley engine is bolted to the stock Ford trans, so reverse, back-up lights are no problems. The engine sits in the engine bay in the same orientation as in the bike. I met the guy 10 yrs ago in anoter car show, at that time he had almost the same modification but in a smaller Innocenti car.

[JTMartin1]

What kind of motor????????? Send me a message.

[slam700]

Harley Davidson 1340

[slam700]

The Harley engine is connected to the stock festiva trans. This way, reversed is available.

Now that's just BAD ASS

@corekid420 alright thats true. ill give u that one it does seem very original.

[corekid420]

@AcaRJacKeR at least its different there are hundreds of hayabusa swapped cars on YouTube and only one Harley swapped one as far as i know

[WEDEFYU]

Damn it, thought I'd be the first to do this, bummer. I'll have to at least go with a twin cam, maybe that'll be a first.

@MrRkitect

I don't know if loud pipes save lives or not but I do know that you can be pretty loud without setting off every car alarm in my neighborhood and shaking the windows in my house at 2AM and waking up my girlfriend & I when we are trying to sleep.

If loud pipes save lives then I guess all those old guys on Goldwings must be dead motherfuckers, right? Oh yeah that's right, THEY'RE NOT!

[ochadeshita]

@AcaRJacKeR the 1340 evolution motor is an excelent motor. just because it doesn't wind up to 14 million rpms and turn into a jet and fly you to your private island, doesn't mean it's bad. It's a reliable motor with good torque and a beautiful sound. Hell of a lot better than some crotch rocket mosquito sound! ;)

[jawbraeka]

What are the rims on this badboy?

[MrRkitect]

to all the people who say that this car is unnecessarily loud..... Loud pipes save lives you bunch of dumb arses

@slam700 It is hard to believe that the Harley engine could bolt right up stock Festiva trans but damn, that is cool! The car sounded awesome! I might have to try doing that myself :-)

Thanks for sharing!

This was definitely one of the coolest Ford Festivas that I have seen!

[AcaRJacKeR]

shoulda put a hayabusa motor in it instead of this shit motor. would of made it faster and sound a hell of alot better then that shitty fart sound LOL.

[stlchucko]

@circa73skater It's just like everything else, if ya take care of it, it'll last a long time.  I've seen em both last forever, and both die quickly.

[circa73skater]

@stlchucko i dont doubt that they do, im just talking about the motors in Harleys compared to Japanese bikes.

[stlchucko]

@circa73skater Is that why the japanese manufacturers all have models that mimic the Harley's look?

[tonyhernandezful]

what kind of color is the festiva?

[zapwatt]

Great, it now has less power, less available torque and gets worse gas mileage. Good job.

[420witchdoctor]

You guys should join two Harley cranks together, make a V4, and put it in this little thing. How kick ass would that be?

[LeXdebobbit]

Wow, little Festi with a monster of a engine, now that´s a nasty one, great.

[melendez1987]

@slam700 Was there any special customization you had to do?

[wkLeoTrooper]

My uncle's Ultra Classic makes about 120 hp and 135 lb/ft torque with the big bore engine he has in it. Any idea what kind of specs this car has?

[gs400s]

Il me semble avoir vu l'Innocenti v-2 au salon de la moto de Montréal vers '98 et le projet n'était pas compléter .

[circa73skater]

@unclesonnyonutube yeah, harleys = loud obnoxious look at me bikes...JAPANESE = more efficient more reliable bikes.

[420witchdoctor]

Now that's a cool fucking swap man.

[unclesonnyonutube]

@waterfordjim

Nope, just immature loud-mouth little kids that watch south park and repeat what they hear.

Anyone else would think its cool. But we dont expect you to actually think for yourself, just listen to shitty cardboard cutout cartoons to tell you whats cool or not.

Harleys are so loud because of the huge bore of the pistons, they dont have little peanut pistons like jap bikes.

[unclesonnyonutube]

@slam700

how much better do you think the harley trans would push it?

The reverse is an easy fix, with a sprocket on an old starter motor.

[superchase08]

lol is that a Harley engine?!?!?!
