Well, it's decision-making time for project car time....
I've been tossing all sorts of ideas around...from as simple as a 350 swap into a F-body or G-body, a 5.0 swap into a 4-cyl Fox Body, or just rebuilding and restoring something with a V8 in it already.
I've been wanting to get into a Turbo Regal since I can remember now, and I'm wondering if I can take on the long-term task of swapping a 3.8 Turbo Hybrid, into another G-body, or a 3rd gen F-body.....The parts that scare me in my reads, are the wiring, the dash/gauge conversion, and possible frame adjustments...Some of the routing of piping and additional frame work onthe F-bodies seems pretty difficult also.
Would I be getting in way over my head??? Should I just stick with the easy project(s), or what do u think....looking for some input from those of you that have built a hybrid, particularly with another G-body or an F-body.
thanks,
JC
