Actually the Catera is RWD. The stock motors are junk so it should be easy to find a stock roller!

Yeah dont waist your time with the others, the Catera is just a rebadged Opel. Out of these cars thats the one I would swap it into.

The Catera was actually designed to have an LS powerplant version IIRC. There's a thread in the conversions section of a guy who happened to find all the parts that GM made, but never released, for the LSSomething Catera.

I'm pretty sure it's near impossible to get all those parts but if GM designed it to accept that engine I'm sure it wouldn't take much to replicate it yourself.....
