i don't think it would be worth doing a hot air hybrid since theres not much power coming out from those engines

its all in what you want to do with your project.

Someone did a hot air Malibu wagon swap. I believe it was featured in a magazine if I am not mistaken. It was a black wagon and the guy used his 84/85 T-type as a donor as it was rusted or something. The set up was very clean.
