Can it be done ?

[lewis1952]

My next project.Picked up this 99 SE 3.1 for $650. Runs but over heats. So I'm going to replace the engine/tranny with a 327/4 speed. Can it be done ? It will take time and labor but I want to try it.

anything can be done with enough time/money/custom fab. So go for it!

Thanks Snow that's what I say. My son-n-law shook his head and said just damn Dad. lol.

Youre going to make it RWD?

[lewis1952]

Sorry meant 96. And yes rwd. Looked at a 99 but the guy wouldn't come down.

he's local to me. i've seen the car in person.

recently he decided that it should still live so it left the garage for the first time in a few years.
