    V8 Archie tears up his Solstice!

    Wonder if there's room in there for a DOHC 3.4L...

    Happy New Year to everyone, hopefully you will come to think of this thread as my New Year's gift to you. This thread is about taking a Solstice apart, but let me tell you a little about myself..... I joined this Forum a year ago, ordered my Solstice on the 1st day they were taking orders...


    With a Dodge Dakota bellhousing on a stock trans... we could do this!

            Here is the LS2 conversion available from Mallett that costs ~$18k on top of the price of the Solstice: http://www.mallettcars.com/solstice-conversion.htm

            I would just spend a little extra and buy the C6.

            '84 X-11 - Time and Money Pit
            '88 Fiero Formula - Bone stock for now
