And yes that is a 4.6 northstar that is still mated to its original trans axle and the abs and traction control are still functional.
there is no replacement for displacement?

as for putting engine up front, i may just install a second unit up front and run with twin engines (depends how she performs with a single engine first)

#55449 01/24/2006 5:10 AM | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Nice work. I have been toying with the idea of putting a GM front drive system in a 59. The 3800 engine/transaxle would be my starting point. My welding helmet is doffed to you though. Looking forward to the finished product. | | |

I have a line on a Northstar and have been thinking about putting it in an old GMC. Now that I see its been done I have to find something else to do...
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
