Funny my Dad mentioned this to me just yesterday. He spent time over on TDIClub while dropping a diesel in a first generation Saturn SL2. I'm sure your project is going to stir up controversy, but in your defense you didn't sacrifice a "perfectly good" Camaro. I'm a sucker for unique stuff, so I'll have to sit down and go through your thread at some point!
Well let's state the obvious...weird..but ummm ok...just a question...If you wanted better weight balance,fuel economy and power why not out a ls motor in even a stock ls motor with only 350hp you can very easily get 20-25 mpg depending on if you throw a 6 spd in and what rear end gears you have. Then the car will still have some "pedigree "

Interesting engine choice. Any particular reason you went with the Volkswagen motor? I've seen a first gen with a Duramax, but never anything like this.
What do those things weigh, and how much hp and torque are you expecting out of it?
I say this is cool. I like different. You'll definitely stand out amongst a crowd of LS equipped camaros (and firebirds). I do agree with the other folks, though- post some pics here, too.
