Default small block chevy in the cressida.

is it possible? the tranny well is big enough already, the car is huge so it wont need reinforcements. how hard could it be?

cut, re-welded and re-balenced drive shaft.
custom motor mounts
camaro radiator with mix match hoses
msd ignition
might need custom headers (might just bend some hookers or bash the firewall if steering rack isnt an issue)

forgive me for the lack of knowledge but im assuming i would need a complete custom fuel system? fuel cell, pump(s), lines, regulator?

other than that i would hardwire all the accessories/electrical (lights/wipers/windows/locks) to the battery and have an instument panal with kill switches, unless i can still use some of the stock body harness.





i know sneakon deacon can give me some advice on this.

Seriously, what's the point of this thread? We all know you're not gonna do it because the car will be gone within a couple weeks.
