Fairly frustrated in trying to get the Buick V6 to sit as low as I want.
The front mounted oil pump and narrow frame rails keep being the big issues.
Oil pump wants to foul the front suspension support, steering rack is right where the front damper needs to go, and the narrow frame will have too little left if I notch it to fit the T5 to sit as low as I want.
Others have put the longer BOP V8 in, so I know this CAN be done.
Thinking of going radical, replace most of the frame that is not the serialized bit.
Would like to see more detail on those BOP V8 conversions.
You'll find a couple here as well as a Chev v6 and a Chev v8 among others.

The Carsten Spitfire is CLOSE to what I'm trying to do.
Wish some of the pics were larger.
Trying to keep it all under a stock GT-6 bonnet.
Being shorter the V6 should be easier.
I have little time at the moment but will want to get back to this soon.
