Back on topic,

I always enjoy the Subaru powered VW buses, although that almost makes sense.

We have all seen the hayabusa motor swapped into small cars, that almost makes sense too...

Here's a confusing one for you, a 540 CuIn BigBlock stuck in a G-body elcamino (78-???)...how is that confusing you say? My boss owns it and refuses to put larger than 235's on the back, so if at any point you explore the last half of the skinny pedal you roast tires...even at freeway speeds, he intentionally has the kickdown limited to WTFO throttle, if the trans downshifted under throttle it would be really bad,

Last generation WS6 models had a bump (10hp in pre-2000 models and 15 in post 2000 models) in power over the standard model 5.7's. Guess a suspension package does add some power....and yes i know the bump in power came from a ram air intake and the modifications to the FD did include it...
