Not without a massive amount of messing around. gearboxs are different, wiring is different etc.
Plus legally you couldn't get it registered anyway as its an older engine.

I could rebuild her engine for her but it is 750 for a rebuild kit and the car isn't worth that much. hey big al she is a big girl with big tits and has 4 kids.

Must be a rough not to be worth 750

You can get motors on ebay all the time from $250 to $800 bit of a risk but thats what you get.

I like big girls with big tits :D

I don't really have anything constructive to say, other than that quote is freaking unbelievable! If she has no money she's pretty much stuffed though, sounds like she can't afford a cheap 2nd hand engine replacement, or that $850 VT.

I recently had a a reconditioned LS1 installed for $5,400. Sounds way too much for a V6 regardless of the tyres, which are probably cheaper ones anyway.
