I kind of figured there would be sheet metal mods. I was thinking of converting a car to a targa at some point anyway. I know subframe connectors are another thing you can do to reinforce the car. Because I am thinking of keeping it a two seater, a cage is do able but I don't want an obvious cage. If its done right I will do a cage as it does wonders for any car's structural integrity.

As for a big block fitting in a third gen....its being done more often than one would think. There are several cars out there with Pontiac 400s in them. Also the world's Fastest street legal car (at least in europe) has a seriously modded big block V8 in it. Its a third gen Trans Am that was built by Polly Motorsports.
