In my shop. Doing stuff.
I know it's not a GM. But it's right up the alley of stuff being built here.

Friend of my brothers wants to race the LeMons curcuit in Denver. So he had my brother build a cage. My brother went to Moab this weekend. Asked me if I could stuff an engine in the car while he is gone.

914 Porsche with a 3.3 H6 Subaru engine and auto trans.

"Porbaru"

Nice. I sold a couple MK1 Scirocco's to a guy a couple years ago that was going to run them in the LeMons race. I always wanted to put a car together for it.
 
2wd. The rear output is sticking out just past the body. He wants to mount a plastic boat propeller on it.
 
My understanding is he plans on making look like the green lanter car. Because his daughter suggested it.
 
Finished my portion. 18 hours to build a cradle attached to the Porsche mounts. Then the brackets to the original Subaru mounts. Still rubber mounted.

When he works on it, he will unplug electronics, unbolt axles and unhook fuel lines. 6 bolts and the cradle drops out the bottom. Exhaust included.

He's going to lower the front 2 inches. He was concerned about keeping the center of gravity low. I think he should be more concerned about it ripping the rust bucket body apart.

It won't see any street use, so he says it will work. It's his car and he's paying cash. So I say yes sir.
