V6 swapped Cavalier - NMNA

Very clean looking 3400 v6 swapped cavalier. NMNA $2700

Having owned one of these in stock form I can tell you that this thing will probably kill you if provoked. Didn't handle well in general, lift off oversteer happened a lot, brakes smoking and boiling the fluid after 2 high speed stops in a row, frontal crash is bad, side impact is tinfoil.

EDIT: Also, increasingly noticeable front end lift north of 80mph.

Somewhat intriguing swap. I'm surprised a 3400 would shoehorn in. Any more details on this, transmission, car history??

Sorry thought I had that in the original post!

No problemo! Would be tempted by this build, if it weren't for the seismic events on the dashboard. 200 lb-ft of torque in a lightweight package with a 5 speed... could move the battery to the trunk for better weight distribution.

Can that dash piece be replaced or is that the whole dash? I know exactly nothing of Cavaliers.

The Cadavaliers' unibody structure is so flimsy that I'd be afraid that the whopping 170lb ft of tq that thing makes would probably twist it like a pretzel.

The earlier gen came with a 60deg V6 from the factory.
