Damn! I knew it could be done! V8 conversion!
BTW, that's not a smallblock Chev engine. That's a Cadillac 500ci monster mill!
I don't know who did that, but he's got my respect.

From what all on sspeed said.. it is a small block Ford... I think Jeg was saying he would rather get a SB Chevy in there...

I knew that was no sb chevy. I've built my fair share of those. When I first saw it in the other thread I thought it was a Ford also. Just didn't pay enough attention to the dist.
I just think a nice little sb would suit me better. Keep a little weight off the front end so it still has a little handling and build me a nice little 400 hp sb in a light car like this and it would be fun to play around with. | |

It looks like he actually mounted his engine for proper weight transfer. I figure if he really wanted to, he could've mounted it lower in the chassis than that.
It's a killer install, and I can pretty much guarantee that it'd beat pretty much any other Saturn out there, including anything turbocharged, blown, or gassed.
Beautiful.
Jim

That's insane. But how do you make a FWD car RWD without the chassis twisting and snaping itself in half?
