So did it bolt right to the trans?? I can't say how many times I have had people claim the motors in those cars have the same bell housing as a V8... I can see the adapter plate in the pic...

they used a shoe horn to get that in.
I saw one at a car show once have now clue how they squeezed it in there.

man that things crammed in there... i know the s10's you can take the engine and tranny from a 82-’92 camaro (not the HO 5.0's) and pair it with an 85-’89 Corvette HD radiator and your cooling headaches will be gone...

they took it apart and welded the front clip back together

It's a mid engine car engine is behind the driver

That actually scares me. The suspension and brakes on those cars got overwhelmed with the fire-breathing 2.8 V6 in them.

Son tells me the 'vette engine fits in there too.....with SOME modifying.....

Actually, the whole engine drops out the bottom. The whole engine mount comes out and you reset the 350 right back into it and lower the car back down to bolt it up to the car.

As it's mid-engine, you should see the exhaust pipes!!!! Good thing he's a welder by trade.

Custom longtubes?
With a muffler and an exhaust tip built in?

Longtubes??????? It's a MID-ENGINE car!!!!! More like a semi-circle! Or an inverted S
