Most that that doesn't seem to be completely crazy. I know another guy on a different forum who is building an old 327 out of a chevelle or vette, to put in his 82. Hes almost done and probably getting ready to install it. But still you're right, why would someone do such a thing? lol.

I don't know if the thread is still on here, but I had the absolutely insane idea of doing another car like the Pegasus show car that was done in the 70s. An updated version of it. That was a 70 Firebird with a Ferrari drivetrain. I was thinking of taking a third gen bird (a 89 or so TA or GTA variant) getting a Ferrari 550 or 575 driveline, stuff it in there. It does have precedent as GM did it in the 70s, but will it happen, I highly doubt it. If you look around on thirdgen.org, there are people doing Viper engine swaps.......
