Not the best Chevy motor for this swap, but maybe he had it laying around. It puts out around 320hp, but it's an iron block motor, so I doubt the power to weight ratio was improved by much. At least not enough to pay $10k over the car's actual value...wtf.

front wheel drive?

+1 for an ls1 instead of this motor, even though 300ish tq must feel great

Pretty cool and unique. A video would help it sell.

They did a pretty terrible job of cleaning up the car for the pictures. You'd think if you're trying to sell a tahoe swapped Ap1 with a savage title for $20k, you'd at least spend a little time cleaning it up. Instead there's a drink lid laying in the drivers side and the tires look like they were dipped in grease....uhhh

4.6 ohc Mustang would have ben a better choice, imo. But like some peeps mentioned, mighta had the motor laying around. If they did this for the sake of being different, more power to them. Would I buy it? Shiz no!
