I originally posted this in the offroad section, but thought it might get more attention here:

Quote:

Hecker Machine works makes an adaptor for a 3.8L Buick motor. I can get a running Riviera motor from a friend free of charge.

I am tempted to begin this project. I am really just getting a feel for what it would consist of at this point though. Does anyone have experience with Hecker, or a motor this big?

Transmission and suspension requirements?

Pictures possibly?

I am currently running a 1600cc swingaxle in my baja.
