project idea LSX Chevelle Wagon
i got this idea in my head that it would be kool to build a chevelle wagon with LSX power kinda like a pro touring type thing, i got the urge for a new car but i dont want to spend the crazy money for a new one i think i could build a really nice cruiser for about 20k, and it would be different that what everyone else is doing what are your opinions
here is a pic of what i want to put the lsx stuff in

Aside from Ted Jannetty's 70 Chevelle Wagon with the 502/Blower combo, this will be a very unique project because its going to be LSX powered, the question is how many cubes would this be? 346, 383, 396, 402?? So many options, so little time. Good luck on the project. I think a nice 4L80e, or something stout to handle the power!
Nice project idea.... alot of potential, think of the room you have under that hood!
I'm not really into the whole wagon thing, but when done correctly they can be very nice, and you'd definately have a one off car that is for sure.

that is a great idea. A lot of guys built those chevelle wagons back in the day with the TPI motors but I havent seen an LSX version....Go for it....I can see it now with an LSX, some 19' black rims and an M6.....

its just a idea at this point, especially since i dont have the $$ to get it done and i want to have ken build me a nice 402 in the spring and that should be all for the ws6,
but the wagon with a lsx and some nice suspension and a killer wheel and tire combo i think would be kool if i could find a nice car to start with

it wouldnt be a race car i would use it as a DD and a tow vehicle for the ws6
'64-65 Chevelle wagon--if you could find a 2dr. -- all the better. The suspension, mounting components, and wiring harness stuff already available for the early A body cars getting LSX transplants. They make nice, nice hot rods and there are a few of them out there already. Early Chevelles are great cars and relatively light, as well.....
