LosAngelesLGT Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'd say its obvious you should do a complete Buick transplant.

ClimberDHexMods Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Turbo LS7 swap!!! Can't think of a worse LS engine to turbo. My personal favorite pet project idea is L92 swap, retaining AWD. Trouble is still the damn steering rack... [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!
