Alright. I have an idea for the ultimate sleeper car. Right now I have an 87 Cadillac Eldorado, its insanely inneficient, the 4.1L V8 gets 135HP. My idea happens to be a bit nuts, but I might try to pull it off once I get a new car.

What i want to do is basically gut the car. First pull out that poor excuse for a V8 and drop in like a 327 chevy V8. Change out the transmission, and replace the rear axle with something from an old Camaro or Vette. Basically convert it into a screaming rear drive sleeper.

Does anyone think this would be possible, or would I encounter a whole bunch of problems with converting to car to Rear wheel drive?
