    Might be a RETARDED question

    this might be stupid as hell but im kind of curious... can you or has anyone ever done a C5 vette rearend on a 4th gen fbody.??? im just wondering cuz i think it would be kinda slick to have a rear inependent suspension on a 4th gen

    if i fill half' my tank with Shell V-Power gas, and the other half with Chevron with Techron will i have V-TEC gas?

    I know a couple people have swapped C4 IRS rears on to thirdgens.

    NOT an easy job.

    I could see doing the C4 swap into a 4th gen. But I can't imagine the amount of work it would take to do a C5 swap into one, considering the transaxle, and torque tube etc.

    the torque tube can be replaced with a drive shaft. the fun part would be the mounting of the subframe.
