Now cut the subframe where the rack is that goes from driver to pass side. cut maybe 6" out of it. Now connect the 2 halfs on the bottom under where the tranny would go. Another mounting point.
Now cut up the firewall and floor a little. Make a tunnel and have a driveshaft made. OMG I just made an RWD V8 1G.(clearly I know there is some more stuff but thats just the main things)
If I remember right I was told an LSI is 30 somthing inches long which is plenty of space from front to back. Also people do RWD eclipses and our 4 banger fits sideways. And a v8 is just as long as a I4 the only difference is how wide it is.
(All of this was not researched just thought of it off the top of my head)

So make something that is chevy V8 powered and be different
