I fear the days of Good ol hot-rodding are dying slowly. The days when you would take a Ford Flattie and find a way, or make a way, to bolt it to a LeSalle tranny. Use Buick drums on Ford spindles, take parts from several manufacturers and cut, weld and fabricate your way to making them work together. What I'm trying to say is that yes it's possible and I don't think you're crazy to think about this. Much fabrication would be required, most likely chassis strengthening of some kind as well. It wouldn't be cheap most likely, but if you think you have the skills and/or the money to do it, go for it. I'd love to see someone try something like this myself, to do some old school rodding to a new school car, if I had the above-mentioned skills and money I'd do it myself, if only to show it to all the poeple who say it can't be done just because they're not willing to truly hot rod their car.
A 3L swap is easier yes, but come on, how bas-ass would a ballz out RWD V8 Contour be......
