    That is awesome... My grandpa and I were actually talking the other day about putting a 5.0/AOD in his '85 Civic hatchback. :D

    I haven't brought it up with him yet, but I have been measuring, and we have a 460 built by Lamar Walden that ran low 10's in a '72 Ranchero. We also have this '83 Ford EXP that has been sitting a few years with a blown engine. That 460 will fit between the shock towers of that EXP and it wouldn't be hard at all to convert that tiny car to RWD... That car could easily weigh the same or less then my Fiat Spider. I just keep picturing that EXP tubbed out with a 460 in it, it would be totally ridiculous and faster then hell. The drive shaft would probably be about a foot long...
