Um...

How good are you at building chassis? :dunno:

Honestly if you wanted to do THAT...you'd be better off finding a Focus, at least they make swap kits for them.

Why don't you just leave it alone and keep it in good running shape as a beater/back-up car?

Yeah it's a throw-away, but might as well keep it together until it dies.

that would be pretty crazy. I always wanted to put a sbc in my aunts chevette, that would be a little easier since those are already RWD.

Yep, but I think mine would be smaller, it would be funny driving around town with a parachute. Would have to have perm. wheelie bars too!

Man... you had to show me a picture!!!

I know it wasn't directed at me, but dang!

It would be amusing that's for sure. Especially if you could retain the stock "beater" look of the car.
