Excuse me as a wipe the drool off my face...

That would make for an amazing swap!

 

[Ws6Stealthbird]

I want it!. Who do I contact to buy it, and who here is going to give me the money

 

[Danno]

If you buy it I hope you can rebuild it aswell. Almost time.

Imagin opening the hood of your TR and having that engine in there.

That engine in a gn

Imagine pulling into a corvette car show with that in your gn and popping the hood. It would be the first time in history that a corvette guy would stop waxing his antenna and come over and acknowledge a gn :biggrin:

That is a dream engine right there. It belongs in my 88 SS montecarlo not in a Buick. The Buick needs to keep the turbo v6 platform :biggrin:
