there was a company at corvettes at carlilse this year doing these swaps and advertising what you need, don't remember their name though, sorry

it's a great way to go on a c4 if you have a tired engine

I'm building a 4.8 turbo engine for a c3 but this has crossed my mind too

better with a stick car as it has a dana 44

Only a douche would make comments like this on a forum.. Go to the racers lounge and hang out, you would fit well.

Sorry for that,you are absolutely right,I hit the wrong key,got dragged away and forgot all about it.I was going to leave a silly comment and suggest the corvetteforum and protouring.com sites for ideas.That was very poor judgement and very rude on my part,I'll save the sarcasm for the right time and place.
