Chevy Cruze is FWD and I doubt you'd be able to fit a Z06 engine under the hood of that car anyway.

I'd rather put that engine in an early 1970s Camaro or a a '32 Ford Hot Rod.

You can probably buy a low mileage engine with the harness and computer from a good salvage yard pretty soon. Those cars will get totaled now and then and the cost from a salvage yard, even factoring in a teardown and basic rebuild (depending on mileage) should be way less than a brand new crate engine. New is a little better, if you want to spend that kind of cash on it.

I always wanted an old hot coupe, and have a love for the early 70s Camaro myself, was my first car I bought in high school myself.

One of the guys in town I grew up in had an old Jade Green Coupe in town with a Hemi in it, his hot sister had a Javelin with one also, their dad did frag racing a lot and ran a garage and was into MOPAR.

Would be pretty hard to mask the engine volume, even at idle I imagine :p

Have a guy just live up the road a short ways from me has a little Ford rat truck, with a Hemi. I was just walking through the neighborhood one day and stuck my nose in when I hard it idling in the garage when he had the door up and was working on it.

That thing even idling you could hear pretty far off, was a retired engineer, we talked awhile, that thing is pretty radical, he has even cut out the wheel wells in the bed and had a Dana 12 bolt in the rear and welded in cut barrels in the bed for wheel wells that had to be at least 20" wide slicks.

;)

Would require a shit load of fabrication. You have to make a tunnel for the driveshaft/exhaust plus extensive mods to the rear end to mount the rear axle and suspension not to mention electronics/interior/etc. I'd love to see this project finished but I suspect that unless you're someone with a lot of time, skill and money (not to mention a purpose) this is one of those projects that gets started but never finished.

Ya think? Haha. No way! I figured you'd be able to swap an LS1 into a Prius with little problem, it'd just bolt right in!
