That GAGT is sweet! I used to own one but I would have never thought of doing something like that to it. I wonder how much it cost her to make that kind of conversion??

Sorry boys, but this conversion was done with Photoshop. Check the larger image, it's pretty obvious there.

The blower looks 'shopped.

The motor looks like a TPI one.

You guys realize that those cars have transverse mounted engines stock right?

I think that the engine appears to be at alittle bit of an angle. The back of the engine is farther to the drivers side that the front. It maybe be my bad eyesight though.

The blower looks fine to me. If it is photoshopped, then they are a wiz at getting the reflections around it just right.

Yeah the motor is TPI.

Yeah they come stock with transverse engines. That doesn't mean that a RWD conversion can't be done. I remember seeing a RWD Lumina about 10 years ago. The guy wanted to race it in the 1/4 but didnt like FWD. He did like the car's appearance though. He converted it to RWD and powered it with a Chevy V8. I cant remember if it was a rat or a mouse though.

He mentions the firewall was moved back 8 inches. It does look like he 'shopped the background in the upper right to clean it up. The car and engine bay are real.

Bad *** car if you ask me.
