This 2005 Kia Sorento (chassis KNDJC733655347854) is offered by a used car dealer but more importantly features a swapped 468ci Chevrolet big-block V8 with a 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive. For what it’s worth, it looks like the vehicle is in decent condition other than the dirty interior and hideous wheels and stick-on hood scoop seen fitted. Honestly, we aren’t sure of the point of this swap other than puzzling onlookers at shows or drag strips but we applaud the builder for their sense of humor. Find it here on eBay in Burlington, New Jersey with reserve unmet and bidding still under $5k. Special thanks to BaT reader Brian A. for this submission.

Unfortunately few details are given describing the car’s mechanical condition other than the mileage, which is 90k total with less than 3k on the swap. In addition to the swapped engine and trans, the transfer case sounds like a custom unit as well. Almost predictably the Chevrolet V8 looks like a tight fit with little room to spare.

A gaudy chrome B&M shifter and custom gauges have been added, while most everything else appears stock. The driver’s seat has several cigarette burns, the e-brake boot is torn, and the cargo area is exceptionally dirty even by used car standards. Even so, things are decent enough for driver standards.

In all honesty this swap is amusing at best but we’d rather see this drivetrain used to create something better like last year’s Super Sleeper Chevette or to power a rolling Jaguar project, etc. Anything else, really.
