its not quite a yugo or a lsx swap but when I was in high school I started to do a sbc swap into a 2 door v dub rabbit the plan was to channel the body down around a shortened s10 frame but I ran out of money before the project ever got off the ground. I think a yugo would be bad ***.

Pretty much has been done. And anyone can buy one. Well, if you're really, really, really rich.
