Aluminum big block w/ a 3.3L whipple in a '69 Camaro built on a chassis similiar to the "Big Red Camaro", aka a NASCAR tube chassis. Tweaked halo to allow me to drive it without a helmet (and without hitting my head on the halo in a reasonable accident) black on black with red hockey stripes, 18/19 staggered wheels and some nice fat tires all around.
Yeehaw.

I'd like to take one of the Chevy 572 cid engines (the 620hp version) and drop it into a 1960's or early 70's Cadilliac M&M hearse. Rebuild the tranny, tub out the rear so it can have some fat meats, get custom headers/exhaust made so that it sounds like it wants to kick your ***, re-upholster the cab with fresh leather, carpet the back and install a vicious audio/video system in it.
So it would look like a stock hearse from the outside (except for the wide rear tires), but on the inside it would be custom.
That would be sweet.

I am sort of building my fantisy project, '79 Monza 2+2 IMSA body turbo LSx.
Too bad I am stuck with a solid rear axle.
I have joked to the local Honda group here of doing a Civic hatch or DelSol with a mid mounted RWD (Like a Fiero) twin turbo 3.4L "twin duel cam" V6 400 to 500 RWHP in a 2500Lb car...so much for VTEC.

I am a buick nut.....i like the way you think................
For a non LSX swap -- how about a Mercedes supercharged V12 into a 32 high boy Ford.
But....for LS swaps......
My dream conversion - 1966 mustang fastback, shelby hurst clone, full custom frame and suspension, with 427 LS7. Me likey......
I would also like a to do a 67 nova with the same 427 LS7.
I am currently working on my first passion - the 71 Cutlass 442 clone with the LS motor.
