How much for the New Beetle behind Paul Walker's Evo?  I'm sure it'd be less than 15k all day.

I've met lots of people who at least would, if not have carb-swapped a vehicle with a turdbucket engine and enough frame rust that a 'minor fender bender' turns the rear bumper 90 degrees. Highly doubt it's one of a kind.

This is the first one of these I've seen that actually doesn't look like it was glued together by tweakers. If you can get over the weird proportions that you get when you try to put a faux Lamborghini skin on a Fiero (and the  stock Fiero interior) this actually looks....almost...good?  at $22k thoughhttp://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/5134998525.html

slidebite posted:Iirc only 84-85 had the scoop. Yes. 84-85 only. Offset Scoops/NACA ducts are badass. I've always held the opinion that the Z31 is a lot better than most give it credit for (I also happen to really like it's styling), it was pretty successful in showroom stock GT racing despite it's reputation. The C4 Corvette also has a similar reputation but was even more successful, so much so that it was banned from the GT class.

It seemed very big and powerful at the time Must be a common thing for dads or granddads to get trucks like this - my late grandpa had a Blazer of the same era and that thing was practically bulletproof. He drove it for years, then gave it to my father who drove it a short time before wrecking it in a DUI collision because he's a stupid careless rear end in a top hat. I miss that beast

I present to you the world's worst LS swap. 240SX gets a mid-engine LS but cutting out the structure of the 240 and slamming in a GM subframe. Nothing about this is done well, correctly, or properly. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/5178652210.html

What's wrong with the LS4? I thought it was just an LS1 block with different boltons and a different bellhousing pattern. I mean, I would only use one for a swap that required that specific bolt pattern, but...

They're also 5.3L instead of 5.7, so probably based on the aluminum genIV truck motor. Still, I didn't think there was anything wrong with them either. Would make for a great Fiero swap.

Nope! True 4x4 status. What and incredible hack job. Couldn't even get the wheel centered in the opening, and those strut tower tops are not going to stay where they are for long. I love the idea, but the execution is problematic.

The transmission that came with it was far underspec and rarely lived past the warranty period. GM went through a period in the early 2000s where they put LS engines in a whole bunch of cars with no other changes.

I give absolutely zero fucks about that pile of poo poo, all I want is the sweet sweet 60 degree V6 patterned 5.3L LS4 to put in something with the crank facing the right direction. Like, say, that 1991 Toyota Pickup which I keep mentioning, to whose stock auto or manual transmission it will bolt using 87-90 4cyl XJ/MJ or 96-01 4cyl Dakota bellhousing/transmission components, respectively. One of my favorite examples of a mental engine swap made possible by the sheer laziness of at least four automotive OEMs.
