rear mounted engine? - Page 4 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

It would be cool but it wouldnt really be a 3sx if you did it right. Build a full tube frame and go from there. Keep weight distribution 50/50 like the RX8 but give the rear a bit more power. It would be cool! I too have considered the project sense I have 2 extra vr4 engines...

LS1, not a 350

LS1 is all aluminum vs cast iron for the 13b

huh? LS1 is a 5.7 liter. Which is 346ci which ever since 5.7's came out were called 350's

But you are right about them being fully aluminum.

well guys, I spent the last 2 months looking at my car and drawing up ideas for a rear engine. I had sergery this spring and have not been able to finish my projects already going on, but I should have plenty of time this winter and hope to be healed. I'm going to keep testing my body work talent on my s40, if that goes well I'll be back on my stealth. Once I finish my targa top I plan on doing a rear engine swap. I will only have to remove two of my role cage bars so it won't get in the way. It all depends on how buisy the shop I work at stays this winter, but I am very serious about doing this conversion.

What do you plan on doing for the transmission? Are you just using a transverse mount FWD setup?
