Easy-To-Do Engine Swap
If you like old-school looks but want modern power, you’ll be glad to know that 1980s muscle cars are great for engine swapping. Engine swaps are common and easy to perform thanks to straightforward mechanics and a reasonable amount of space under the hood. There are numerous choices from crate engines from Ford, GM, and Chrysler, which you can put in your car (via Late Model Restoration).
Most common is putting the LS engines in Camaros and Firebirds. Or putting the Ford Performance or Coyote V8 in Fox-body Mustangs. Some owners even decide to put modern Hemi engines or create turbocharged versions of standard powerplants. The options are endless, and there is so much that is possible and so much performance that can be extracted from these setups.
