[FC] alternate FC power

[Williams, Rickie]

 I had given thought to a Northstar set-up in my Greenbrier until I talked
with a few Seville owners.  Although an extremely powerful engine, it has a
multitude of sensors.  My dad's Seville seems to be needing another sensor
replaced all too frequently.

So, my current inclination is one of the 240hp Supercharged V-6 Buicks.  My
preliminary measurements indicate that this set-up (complete sub-frame) can
be made to fit without too much effort also.  My next wild idea is whether I
could make it four-wheel steer!

Brett,       I have made some very preliminary measurements about
putting a
'91 Cad Deville front sub frame assembly in my '63 'Brier limo.
Although
preliminary, it looks like it will fit. Quite a bit of work but maybe
worth
it since I have a '91 Caddy to use for all the parts.  I plan on doing a
lot
more checking a little later.  The answer from Craig is true if you only
use
just the motor and not the whole sub frame assembly.
