    Gen III or Gen IV? I don't know of any 5.3 (vortec) applications that are front wheel drive. In many cases there are differences in the heads and sometimes in mounting bosses for a longitudinally mounted vs. horizontally mounted engines.

    Me either I saw a kit to put a quad four in the front with a bell housing for a 5 speed it was in one of the Lotus 7 take offs and with the DOHC quad 4 and Weber carbs it made a track monster.  Pony Express
