Default Any LS1 Vega swaps?

For some reason I really like seeing people stuff SBCs in an old Vega and blowing the doors off of everything. An LS1 in it would be awesome.

I searched and couldn't find any info or pictures. Anybody care to share?

WHATS A VEGA?

Just kidding, my buddy has a 75 monza, and he's talking about a 6.0l with NOS and a turbo 350 and a 12 bolt. Guy is pretty motivated, and ususally follows through. If anything becomes of it i will post pics. mj

My 1978 Monza is going together soon. It'll be done by may 1st. There is at least one other Vega going together but it's in Norway. PM me for details.

my brother is finishing his vega drag car now, built 355, roll cage, tubbed, narrowed 9" ford with 5:13 gears for the 1/8 mile, i hope he blows it so we can stuff an ls1 in there! , he's got a motor plate to hold the engine instead of motor mounts, i wonder if the ls1 will bolt to it?

motor plate's easy to replace/modify, just pop it off and CNC it.. or get a new one.

But that would be cool. If I only had the money I would have the coolest **** but then again wouldn't we all. You know what else would be a blast? A friggin Corvair that would make that turbo 6 look like ****.
