Around town here a few years back, the owner of Classic and Unique Vehicles,
dropped a Buick short-block V8 into a GT6 - he said the engine actually
weighed LESS than the GT6 engine, but did have to move the battery to the
trunk to get a little extra space. Said it ran REAL fast, but he had
problems stopping, so he got rid of it.... And he lives to tell the story.
Don't think I would try that in a Spit :-)
