Back in 1987 a friend of mine wrecked a 71 challenger with a 383. We took the motor trans and rear end and stuffed it in a plymouth reliant K station wagon. We were young and stupid. We had no idea that you had to beef up the unibody to support the power. It only took 4 weeks to destroy it to the point it actually broke in half. We had jumped the car a few times prior to the engine swap so maybe it wasn't the best car to put the motor in but it was fun and faster than anything I have driven since. I wouldn't drive it that fast if I had the chance to now. Like I said we were young and dumb. It was one hell of a sleeper. The best part is that we were seen in the original car prior to the swap and it had crappy exhaust so no one thought twice until we stomped the gas.

It made a nice grease rag!
