Eric,
I have not come across this.  My guess is you'd have to find a complete
running gear, including driveshaft, transmission, rear diff from a '90 v8q and
have it transplated.  A lot of work and $$$ IMHO.  It would probably (almost
definitely) be easier to put a 4.2 motor in a '90 v8q, which would require
minimal mods (i.e. Engine control unit,etc.).  Perhaps someone from the list
or the V8 list can help?
