oh and if ya go with the caddy i have a factory rear sump pan and pickup and a set of motormounts out of a 79 425.I just sold a 38,000 org mi 500 cad beast.
Can you tell i've been a Junkyard dog and goodie packrat like forever?
CHAD.......Thanks for agreeing that a bbc or sbc motor belong in that car.......and to the nit wit who says chevy motors have ruined other small cars they dont belong in, well all the chevy powered MUSTANGS IN FLINT are FEARED....... ;D
If you really want to be different how about an R3 Studebaker V-8? These came stock with the Paxton Supercharger. Of course you could use something like Ted Harbit uses in the Chicken Hawk. Twin turbos and the like....
David, you were looking to be different weren't you? ;D
This is one of the most beautiful engine swaps I've ever seen. It helps to be Jack Roush when your doing something like this. When I spoke with the guys that worked on this project, they said it was part of a pissing match between Jon Moss at GM and John Coletti at Ford. Moss had a 572 cube ZL1 in his 99 Camaro. Coletti told Ford he needed a car to evaluate brakes with. This 93 Cobra was sent to Roush with the idea of putting a Boss 429 in it. When it was done they brought it out for the press. When they opened the hood on the 93 Mustang Cobra, everyone's jaws dropped. Roush had built a one off 604 cube Allen Root based alloy Boss motor with a shoe box intake featuring dual 70 mm throttle bodies, with 72 lbs injectors. This setup not only looks great. It put out 855 hp at 6200 rpm and 794 lb-ft at 5200 rpm. What ever engine you put in the Crusher, I hope it has this much impact when hood goes up.

The I5 3.7 sounds like an awesome idea. Even cooler if it was running a turbo on propane. Ecotec would be my second choice. A cts high feature v6 would also be awesome.

all of the above are Chevy engines; and GREAT suggestions. I don't think you have to basturdize the car and make people hate it, just to put a "unique" engine in it. Chad learned how to play with more than just cows, he can also work that 'lectronic fuel injeckshun!! Git-r-dunn!!!!
