if this is in the wrong spot please tell me. i am going to be restoring this car and am studying ways to get more power. theres not much in the way of mods for the 4.5l. i thought about a 4.9l swap but i dont think that will give me the power i want. how difficult would it be to swap in the engine and trans from say, an impala ss or other front wheel drive car? as far as bolt patterns go what would i run into there? please dont tell me to buy a sports car or seek more power elsewhere. i want to make this car fast because you dont see it much, if at all. what options do i have for swaps? compatible engines and trans axles? would love to swap in a ls engine, or lt1. possible? i know the weakest link would be the trans, so is there another trans that will bolt in, or is it possible to beef this one up?
thanks in advance.
John
