Good question.
Remy will need to rent a pink septic-pumper truck name Petunia to get the job done right - even then its questionable.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.Comment

Remy, see what you did? Now the price of these cars and parts are gonna skyrocket thanks to you popularizing them. It didnt help that they destroyed a dozen of these during the filming of F&F 4. Thanks a lot, buddy.Originally posted by BBR View PostLast edited by Scott Liggett; September 18, 2012, 01:37 PM.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver

Give me a break, Scott. The car was visible for maybe 40 seconds...it's claim to fame was driving into the back of Vin Diesel.Last edited by BangShift McT; September 18, 2012, 05:15 PM.Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

Ok, I've been mulling over how to perform the engine swap on these cars. I would like to do a full K-Frame drop, since the Mirada's K-frame/suspension is all new and has the aluminum hockey pucks instead of the rubber. I've got a couple of friends that are more than doubtful about that process. Any opinions?Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

Not done the K frame drop myself but lots of people on forabodiesonly.com reckon it's the way to go. Definitely worth a shot since you need to pull all the suspension anyway.Comment

I'm also digging for rear leaf packs. Both of the cars have springs that are bowing upwards, they're so shot. Haven't had luck yet.Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

Never done it, hands on.. Have seen it done.. Should be a straight forward swap, same platform, models..
Measure and measure again.. Then decide.. Simple stuff like maybe radiator mounts may be different.. MAYBE..
Don't be afraid.. Start the swap after measuring.. If it looks good.. Go for it..Comment

2 cars worth packs... Pick the best mains and build your own..Originally posted by Remy-Z View Post
Say.. Take the 4 longest and the 4 next longest and put them together..install and check how it looks.. Might need to remove some.. Or use lowering blocksComment

that's how i swapped engine in the 97 grand Prix and the 01 i had dropped the front sub-frame
looking at the 88 factory manual for a M-body does not look that hard as the suspension is self contained because of the lateral torsion barsOriginally posted by Remy-Z;n1167534
