wait lemme get this straight you have (in theory) a camaro, an s10 and an alero you mount the camaro's ls1 engine onto the s10's frame and modify as needed, then place the aleo body ontop of it all?

Thats how the Alero should have been built, I think so at least, lol

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I agree. And look at all the space that is leftover. me = jealous.

any pics of the interior? I wanna see how different the floor is (if at all) considering the addition of the drive shaft.

it's slow though, i heard the best time he has ran is like a 14......

wouldn't that all depend on the suspension and weight involved? you can't just swap power plants and expect to keep correct ratios w/o taking all numbers into consideration.

That's because of the L98 :nuts:

Turbo and or Supercharge it, and add a little Nitrous and your good :lol:

Heavier frame, heavier engine, heavier tranny, beefier wheels = Cool looking stock car!...LOL

couple of build pics on this guy's site, but he dropped off the face of the earth the past couple months. I don't know if he's still even doing this project or not.

14.8 if I remember correctly.

More time and more money I have in my V6 and I'm running 14.69 last time I ran.

What's Ion running now? Probably still not the same amount of money, but closer to the time spent. I know he's faster than 14.8 ;)
