Wow, I wonder what he parks in the barn? (hood scoop) I like pistons but disaprove of this swap.
Here is where the weight balance argument comes to play, look how far the engine sits foward, I wonder where he was trying to take the swap.

Here's a pic. of my 3.8 SII mounted. Check where the center line of the top of the struts is, and the axle center line is ~1inch in front of that. Now check where the front of the engine is, it's still a "front/mid" engine machine.

Heh, I can appreciate the motor. I've even thought to myself a couple of times (Me! Mister anti piston in an RX7 himself!) how awesome it would be to put my Buick's 3.8 SC into a first gen shell. . . .
