arent those fwd? if they are then maybe u could fab ups a camaro subframe, remove the inerfenderwheels, and fab up some rear suspension. cause i dont see any fwd axles and trannys in those to stick up to any serious v8.

its possible i have seen it on TV before, i think a car show that was on the Speed channel...

it must cost alot.. at least alot of fab work..

he most likely would be better off getting a small rwd car to work on...

the stock axles might not take it too well


but you can still get some axles to handle the power of the v8 as well as a tranny to do so and still be fwd if that is what he wants

that has got to be a photoshop, look near the front left of the motor, how it is blurry against the hood.

I vaguely remember seeing one. Had a 350 in the back, and a Porche trans, rear wheel drive. Lotsa fabrication to make that one work.....
