5kcstq project car crossroads

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I agree with Peter, EXCEPT if you're planning on running around  
Steamboat.  The V8's bumper composition (front and rear) does not  
take kindly to impacts with snowy banks if anything harder than  
powder (believe me, I know).  The 5000's OTOH, have virtually damage- 
proof bumpers.  Right, Peter?

DeWitt,

I'd find out if Kennedy's adapter fits and LS1 and really go to town:
http://www.kennedyeng.com/other.htm

The Kennedy adapter is what Rob Dupree used to build the LT-1Q.  The  
LS1 is
lighter and shorter than the LT1 so it should make for an easier  
conversion
and 345 stock HP ;-)

Un unloved early V8 Audi might be a better choice for the body though...

I really shouldn't encourage other people to build "franken cars" but I
can't help it.

Cheers
