Unusual engine swaps...
 

Just wondering how many of us have seen unusual engine swaps? I'll go first...

My friend Nick in Iowa just finished putting a 1968 Olds 455 in his 1975 Monte Carlo:

A guy in my car club, Portland Club Grand Prix (PDXCGP), put the L67 3.8-liter V6 in his 94 Grand Am. Unfortunately, as he was going home from a car show several months ago, he ended up going into a field and the car wound up in a "cattle creek". He is alright, the car didn't make it. RIP Godzilla:

Man the 2nd gen Monte looks pretty nice.

It's cool to do weird engine swaps. That's a part of Hot Rodding in it's true sense.

Chris, You better keep us posted on the V8 swap in to your Monte.

So is it safe to assume you'll be converting it to RWD?
If so, that would be an awesome sleeper.

There is a way to do a FWD LS1 V8. GM did it with an Impala SS... http://9c1.com/gallery/features/ls1_impala/index.htm
