Re: DSM V8 swaps?

It wouldn't be that tough at all if you're starting with an AWD DSM, the back is already set up for RWD in a sense. You could probably even get away with using the stock rear end and suspension with a stockish LS1 and a custom driveshaft. It's a good idea because it's not common, it should fit pretty easily, it wouldn't be that hard to do, and it would look stock on the outside. I thought it was dumb with the EVO, but it'd be cool with a real DSM. Besides that, have you driven a Camaro lately? They are just junk compared to any 1G I've driven.
