It fits in about any car. Just use your imagination. I have one in a 85 Z28 and my buddy swapped one in his 79 Monte Carlo. Third-gen F-bodys and G-bodys are getting cheaper and are easy to swap it all over.

Hey:

Alloy body Mini, Porsche 924/928s, or some light kit car would be real fun!

All the chassis and suspension stuff on those is the same as the 94-96 cars so there is a good aftermarket, but they are several hundred pounds lighter. A summer or two ago I saw a 79 bent window Caprice I wish I had picked up.

Really though I think something like a Factory 5 kit car would be a lot of fun.

A little Triumph or MG would be fun with an LT-1 and an M-6!
