Seriously, why?  Unless you want an ill handling POS pass on the BB Chev
swap.

I can not help with your question, but I do know allot of work is envolved.
Much to do with the weight of the engine allone, frame and suspension mods,
engine bay chopping to shoe horn it in.
Then when you are done you have a nose heavy, ill handling ride.

Hey dude. I've got what you need. I actually purchased it for a couple of
bucks off of an old Hot Rod mag article. It's on floppy. It lists all the
mods, and the part numbers you'll need. Shoot me your e-mail, and I'll send
it to you. Some people here just think that whatever YOU want to do with a
car is totally retarded. But, they know us better than we know ourselves.
And, relax, we did this to a buddy's car years back. No major cutting
required. They are very correct on the handling though. You'll need better
springs up front(easy fix). But, if you're going for straight line
performance like most of us down here, you'll love it. TORQUE IS KING!
