F430 drivetrain in a Corvair and a Ferarri 599 engine in a 69 Camaro Another would be making a Cobalt SS RWD and throw in a straight 6 out of a Trailblazer thats been boosted to hell and let the Supra boys feel the wrath.

Well, I had been thinking of a few swaps for a while now.
Probably the #1 non-LSx swap would be a supercharged, DOHC 4.6 Modular and TKO 5-speed in a 65-68 Mustang
Then I was, at one time, thinking putting a 2.3L Ford Turbo in an MGB or a subaru Flat 4 in a Porsche 914.
Right now, though, I'd go for an LSx in a C4 Corvette.
Once Uncle Sam tells me I can go back to America, I may be able to buy one of these cars.

Maybe a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. The one with the suicide doors, same model JFK was assinated in.
Color scheme would have to be white on white leather with a white top.
Motor would be a modern fuel injected, ford supercharged 5.4 V8. Basically the motor out of a Ford Lightinging, with the same overdrive automatic tranny. This heavy beast would run 11's and be perfectly streetable as well.:bow:

I would have to go with a 3800 series II supercharged engine with some work to get it up in the 350hp range in a Fiero GT. Probably a smaller pulley, some different rockers, and maybe some heads, along with a custom exhaust would get me close.
Then, I'd just have to find a way to get it to hook up in first or second gear.

Staying with "the rule":
1) My '83 s10 blazer with a ZZ572
2) Same vehicle with a Duramax and Allison trans.
3) Swap 1 but mid-mounted (true fantasy swap, lots of money and fabrication)
4) Swap 2 but mid-mounted (I don't think the allison would be possible in this case)
Breaking "the rule":
1) An engine as close to the LS7.R that I could get built by Katech in my blazer
2) same engine, same builder, same blazer . . . mid-mounted.
Can you tell that I love my blazer?! I have other fantasy swaps, but my blazer is the only important one to me.
