Yes.
You can do it.
I have done it.
If you ask on this site you will develop a terminal disease and the undying enmity of the purists.
Go to:
www.torquecentral.com
and don't upset the natives here.
The Gods in this place are un-forgiving.
Check your PM's.

HEY!!!

Some of us "natives" are generally supportive of the V-6 and V-8 swap!

I wholeheartedly support the piston swappers here on the board and think that they have nice cars.

SHEESH!!!

Hmmmm... a V6 makes a lot more sense than a V8. One of the users on here has a Buick GN (turbo V6) engine in his car. I'm pretty sure the weight distribution with the V6 is a lot closer to stock than with a V8. I THINK the V8 mount kit would work on the V6, but I suggest contacting Granny's to be sure.
