Put an lsx into a chevy sprint or a ford festiva for the ultimate sleeper. Of course those are both deathtraps, and the volvo might be safe.

I've got a 1980 242 GT Volvo that I've thought about swapping an LS1 in. Its actually a pretty good looking car since its a two door and has the old style round headlights and grille.

I'd love to do it, but I don't have the money or the time to work on my own junk.
