Also look at that oil pan clearance, it is almost 3 inches below the frame!

I noticed that too, but thought I must be mistaken..

So what DID they do to that car besides install an engine?

Should we ask them to see the response?

Could be a fun exercise.

Lol...I think you mean Chinese or Taiwanese sheetmetal.

If the Japanese ever made repro sheetmetal for our cars, it would fit, and it would be absolutely perfect....

Why spend that kind of money for that car.

Im sure you can build that engine for about 20k, body work 20k, suspension 10k, brakes 3k, interior 5k, buy the car 10k, tranny 5k, cooling system 2k, A/C 1.5k, misc 10k, rear diff 3k, having some one do everything for you 20k.

total and those prices are pretty high in my opinion.
$109,500 and you have your one of the best cars around.
