I think that i could adopt the front subframe from a camaro to stealth making it easy to fit the engine, but then i would have to make trans mounts and cut the floor, then i have to look for rear end from r/t turbo model or i might be able to use one from camaro. It would be nice if these cars had actual frames under them, then i could buy wrecked iroc and put stealth body on it.. _____________________________ (in reply to 92stealth) Post #: 22

RE: Corvette engine in Stealth? Engine swap questions - 6/12/2007 12:07:43 AM    yevgenievich DodgeForum Moderator Posts: 409 Joined: 2/15/2007 Status: offline i think that stock 305 with tpi is 225 hp and 280-295 punds of torque, now the tbi or carb unit from early 80's is the one with 145 hp and 195 punds of torque, which stock stealth with v6 just beats the crap out of. I got the high output 305 which is the best 305 you could get, which is the only reason i didn't buy the 350 project firebird, it needed a lot of work to get done but had 350. edit: i'll probably will use the 305 as a cofee table < Message edited by yevgenievich -- 6/12/2007 12:11:15 AM > _____________________________ (in reply to 92stealth) Post #: 24

RE: Corvette engine in Stealth? Engine swap questions - 6/14/2007 7:55:22 PM    yevgenievich DodgeForum Moderator Posts: 409 Joined: 2/15/2007 Status: offline i just stoped by the gas station, and calculated that i'm geting 18.6 mpg on firebird, and other week i stoped by and found that i get about 22 mpg on stealth. The previous owner of firebird reported that he was geting about 13 mpg so my guess is that when he drove the poor engjine was always in 3k+ rpm range. Stealth is a nice car, i just wish i had twin turbo engine and all wheel drive. _____________________________ (in reply to 92stealth) Post #: 28

RE: Corvette engine in Stealth? Engine swap questions - 10/25/2007 8:42:26 AM    granth998 Posts: 11 Joined: 5/23/2007 Status: offline After further investigation, dropping a vette engine in the Stealth is just too costly.  Almost anything can be done if you spend enough money, but there is too much customization involved, so I've opted to rebuild the SOHC engine and let this part lie for now.  The external restoration work has gone well so far.  Used a metallic ruby red paint on the exterior and installed two-tone leather seats (drk gray inset with beige), new 18" BBS Rims, dark tinted windows.  Left the top painted black as in the original two-tone design, which looks cool for contrast but painted everything else ruby red, including inside of headlamps which used to be black.  Yet to do:  putting new touch screen lcd stereo in the double din space complete with onboard navigation system and bluetooth.  Vented "Ferrari" hood with air intake going in and several other improvements.  Looks like an '07 model!  The Stealth design was well ahead of it's time, so a nicely restored Stealth can turn a lot of heads.  Will post more pics when finished.  Here's a quickie pic I did yesterday in some rather bad lighting.   Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) < Message edited by granth998 -- 10/25/2007 8:46:44 AM > (in reply to granth998) Post #: 30
