Big Block SC2?

[xDiego16x]

Saw this on a Cardomain page. He saw this at a car show.

Friggin' sweeeeeeeeeeet.

Is it just me or in the first picture is the engine leaning backwards, like it won't fit? Also it doesn't look the like the hood would close.

Awesome....looks like a Caddilac V8. Which means it is proably a 472 or 500 cubic inch motor....imagine 8.2 liters in a Satty

It is the slope of the hood itself.

I think this big block SC2 is best winning sleeper of them all. I thought about a future hobby: Rebuilt for Peformance 2.2L T3 Turbo Saturn QC Ion, but this incredible.

Maybe the pic is just wierd and it's hard to tell the actual depth of the hood. It's probably raised up quite a bit.

[eRic 02sc2]

that's cool but, uh... where are the headlights? and the air cleaner?

[white95SL1]

If you look at the picture of the front of the car (not the close-up of the enginge), it looks to me as if there's a buldge in the hood. But I was wondering the same things as you, eRic.

Judging by the valvecovers, intake manifold, and headers, it's more likey a small block ford engine. Probably a 302 or 351W.

I bet that car really doesn't drive all that well, because the engine is mounted at a really bad angle, the front should be about 6" lower. This more than likely results in a horrid angle at the first u-joint after the transmission, and I wouldn't be suprised that the car snaps u-joints and driveshafts like none other.

ooo i just noticed that's a 93-94 with a 95-96 front fascia on it. look at the rear reflex panels and the interior.

look even closer, the front strut towers are gone, the hood doesn't even have a spot for the pop-ups, the wiper fluid tank is moved back, and i swear those are five lugs wheels.

on the contrary, it looks like the driveline is in line with the rear axle. even on ridiculous jacked up trucks, where the driveshaft angle IS bad, u-joints don't go all that much. this car is obviously just for show anyway, as it can't be registered for the street w/o lights and such. also, swaps such as these are federally illegal. and, we can't really see the top of the hood, but it has to have a scoop or something. looks like it was some heck of a project. puts my DOHC swap to my SC1 in perspective.

F ucking gay.

why do people get so stupid.

thats as much an sc2 as my sc2 is a viper

[SaturnPower93]

Thats so cool, never imagined it would fit

[eRic 02sc2]

keep hammering. we'll make it fit.
there's actually a place in metro detroit that does v8 ford focus conversions. a 5.0L or a 4.6L fits in the focus along with the mustang transmission and rear end. bring your focus, a mustang donor and money. look at the terminator focus.

I know a guy who built a beautiful drag car with a '97 SC2...the car is based on a tube-frame chassis, but the craftsmanship is fantastic! With a little work, he could actually make it street legal.

I've never seen a small block ford with a distributor set up like that.

You must have x ray vision to see the headers

[satwag]

Buick is the only motor I know of with a distributor setup like that.
