Yes, a LSx V8 in a Pontiac Vibe!!!

Pherb, I know what we're doing today!!!

I think I may want to tackle a project like this one day, maybe soon once my work situation is clarified.

He stole my idea! I was talking to Zane about doing a RWD conversion with an AWD Vibe. Either way, this looks way cool. I'm eager to see how this turns out.

Don't you mean he stole MY idea :lol: I installed a 225 Plymouth slant six into one of my '74 Camaro's that I restored just for a joke some 30+ years ago. After I was 100% successful and drove it for some time, I came to my senses and put a 283 small block Chevy back into it. Loved doing this kind of thing AND would easily entertain the thought someday when there are plenty of second gen Vibes laying around cheap. Certainly a retirement job for me in the future 8-)

Haha...thats funny...this is my car.

In all honesty, I havent touched it in a few months. I have been busting my (removed) to get my Caprice done and I am almost there.

While it might not be a vibe....gives you guys an idea of what you can expect from me and my fabrication lol.

I am hoping to get back on the Vibe soon and finish it up.

Stay tuned.

It is actually a single turbo. 70mm Garrett on a 4.8l.

I am hoping to go deep in the 10s with this combo on kill.

Your Caprice looks good. And obviously you have a good standard of work. I look forward to what you do with the Vibe, though. I wanted to do something similar with an AWD some day, so I'm eager to see how it comes out.
