I know a guy that took a '56 Studebaker Hawk, turned it into a '62 GT Hawk, put an AMC firewall in it so he could have power brakes, put a '66 Chevelle SS 396 engine in it with a 4 speed and a 340 Duster rear end. That car flew and looked cool.

A couple of years ago I saw a 2006 Solstice with a 2JZ motor putting out over 600hp it flew but it also blew up.

As far as just weird swaps, our friends who built our funny car chassis did an odd one. They installed a 392 hemi in a Nash Metropolitan for a customer. It was really crammed in there. I have a pic somewhere. I will post it if I find it.

That may be the one they did. I never got to see it in paint. Only Primer. It was blown and had a wing. That almost has to be the car. Do you know the owner?

There is a guy that was building a 1967 Beaumont with a V10 Viper engine in it. There is a thread on Team Chevelle but it hasn't been updated in a while.

We have a 62 Ford Unibody pickup that has a Pacer under it. Pacer IFS clip, 258 AMC 6 cyl, 904 trans, pacer rear end. It was like that when we bought it. It was on a show circuit here in Norcal years ago.
I was actually thinking of putting an Neon SRT-4 engine (daily) in my 63 Rambler American using Jeep RWD drivetrain. I'm just weird I guess. |

Not exactly "weird" but all-Pontiac- I still admire the guy who fit a 455 into a Fiero. Member here maybe?

Slant 6 in a RX-7 is definitely odd but that engine would out last 10 rotary engines easy.

This has to be the winner here:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F273616872360 My wife had one of these when we got married. We sold it to some kid who no doubt wrecked it. I can see why the builder is selling it - those mufflers are still in the passenger compartment! (Along with the rest of the engine.)

About 2 years ago, while calling on one of my customers in Algona, IA....
One of their customers had a '50 Mercury with a 6.7L Cummins diesel in it. Car was painted OD green with military markings on it. The owner was real proud of it. I give him credit for the engineering. I didn't like the execution. |

I bought a Pontiac 455 that was sitting in the bed (with a camper top) of an S10. I asked if he knew what car was the donor for the 455.
He said he did not know but he pulled the 455 out of a Dodge Power Wagon to drop a 440 in it. What?? I said. And he repeated the facts again. I suppose it is true...who would make that up? |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
