One of them doesn't appear to be connected. Neither appear to be secured.

"drift missile"

Mostly unguided and likely to explode upon impact?

I've decided that I'm not done.

Why do 99% of failed "race" or "drift" car conversions start with "I know, let's tear out the interior and ruin it, along with the dashboard!"?

Let's spend the first day ruining any hope this car had of ever becoming anything useful.

"Need gone" and "firm" don't go together. Neither does a 20 year old GM v6 and "drift missile" for that matter.

Is that the GM 3.1? Reliable as I remember it, but it definitely had not even a hint of performance. I never understood why someone would swap in a lesser engine like this when 1st gen small blocks and 5.0 fords are so cheap. Anyway, yeah, tuna, I agree with you. I think it's just because it's something easy to do and makes a person feel like they've accomplished something when really what they've done is destroy any hint of utility.

That's the 3.4 SFI from the 93-95 F-Bodies. Made about 160hp if I recall correctly. You could do a 3.4/3400 hybrid build. Gets you the better performing FWD intake/aluminum heads, but in the RWD block. Gets another 20-30 hp out of it.

But I'm with Tuna... Gutting it ruined the car. Engine swap I could get behind, but everything else...
