That's not happening. It's FWD. Tune the 5 cylinder that's in there if it's a turbo. If not, swap in a turbo. These 5 cylinders are great engines. You can't possibly swap a V8 into that car.

Hey thanks a lot I really do need the help. I'm into tuners but she is. I'm more into prepping.

Don't listen to anyone. I've done two very successful LS swaps into a 98 s70. There are a few bumps in the road but nothing unachievable.

Do you have any build thread, pics, or anything? How did you do it?
