the roadmaster currently has a 305 auto. has anyone done this swap or does anyone have any input as to what issues i might run into? i would like to keep my digital climate control if possible.

Make sure to align the rudder and to properly match the propeller to the engine output power range.

Seriously though... It has the steering response of a boat, wallows around like a boat, and is the size of a boat. It must be a boat.

I work in the marine industry (truthfully, I do) so I'm just being helpful.

Personally I would just forget the swap and get some glasspacks and 26" and call it a day.

aww man...id forgotten about the shenanigans around this place.. the car is a bit of a boat but i like it that way. did i mention its a wagon. as for 26" wheels,thats a no go as the car will be bagged on 20's and the glasspacks wont fix the head gasket,shitty fuel economy,lack of power, and generally shitty engine thats in there to start with,thus the swap. i already have the lt1 and trans.

what im looking for is input on the wiring and if i will need to notch a cross-member,shorten the driveshaft,etc... yo fabrik..as for a prop..do you have a good one you could donate to the cause?
