Is this possible? Realistic? I would like to do something different than what most would do. Thinking about LS2 motor with direct port NOS! :burnout:

I'm sure its possible. If you can do it on a c4 you can do it on a c3 and probably easier as the c3 chassis will easily accept the big blocks. All you should really need is custom motor mounts/crossmember, both of which could be manufactured cheaply.

Pat has done the swap. I am on my way to doing the swap right now. I think I may have to call in sick tomorrow and see if I can get the motor close to dropping in. Should be a lot of fun when it finally happens.

What are you going to be doing to it to make more power? I added a cam and 243 heads to mine. I am hoping for around 400 RWHP.
